Boost referenced timing retard

you can hook your vacuum advance canister up to manifold vacuum, when i hits boost it will go back to "static" timing.

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work well, especially if you modified the slot (in the distributor mechanical advance mechanism) for mechanical advance so that it was limited to about 8 crank degrees. That would enable you to set ten degrees initial, for easy starting.

That setup would provide the 18 degrees mechanical you'd need for boosted power, and a lot more, once the vacuum advance kicked in after the boost goes away, for cool-running and better fuel economy.

The best of both worlds...:cheers:
