Solutions for too much compression

So what ignition do you have? I know everyone wants to lock it out, but unless you are using points the ignition system WILL retard with RPM.

So you need to figure out what you have and how to work with it.

So I am at a point right now where I am using only machanical advance. Initial at 14 and total at 24. It’s all in by 2500 or so. If I advance it more I get some pinging. Does it make sense to put in stiffer springs and delay the advance till a higher rpm? Then I may be able to run more initial.
It’s running pretty good now, and I will probably try to add in some vacuum advance and see what happens.
