340 ignition timing.

Yes-that's a decent method for getting the best idle, but you also have to consider the timing curve...unless you're running a purposed engine with locked timing, 34 is too much initial...it'll wind up somewhere north of 50 degrees when it's all in-and that'll end up hurting parts.

Since you have the light on it though, map out your curve like these guys are saying and see how it drives, then modify as necessary to get best performance and drivability.

Ok, I mis-understood the other threads. I don't have the springs/bushings that came with the distributor so I will have to order another set. I am ordering a new set of tires, so it will be a little bit before I can take it out for a drive.

When the tires get here, I will make the adjustments and take it out for a drive and report back.
