Engine timing mechanical

While I understand this car is not a sit in traffic daily driver, it also doesn’t seem to be a dedicated drag car. Save the locked out timing for the cars with lots of gear, (not 3:23) a lot less weight, a bunch more compression, and a bunch more camshaft. You will benefit from developing an ignition curve for your combination in your car. Take some time and plot your advance at different rpms and do some testing to see what your engine likes with combo it is attached to. Carb tuning will be easier, your starter will last longer, your fuel mileage will increase, and it will make just as much power at WOT. I would even add in the vacuum advance once the initial curve is established and tune that as well.
