Went past the point of no return, cut the hole in the hood. Actually the guy that owned the car for the last 40yrs before I bought it did it, he did a great job. I have about 300 miles so far on the setup. I had to abandon the vacuum advance idea, it seems it could not act quick enough with a 4 speed and resulted in a few nasty back fires on quick shifts. The a/f's were great so I pulled the meter, but the last trip I did it would fall on its face under sustained load, almost like it was running out of fuel, so I am going to put it back on and throw a fuel gauge on as well. 24degrees timing, pretty cold plug, 91 octane fuel, and 8psi boost, so far no detonation found.
