It may have been 40. It's been years since I adjusted it, as I've only driven it twice in the last two years, and would have to check my notes to be sure.
I know I did have to limit the centrifugal advance quite a bit so I could run more initial. Otherwise it would run hot, and the idle was a lot more lopey.
I run a Crane ignition control, which retards timing a bit during cranking, allowing for more initial advance.
My motor is 12.5:1 compression, and runs 110 octane race fuel.
