Iagree with the previous statement:


Anyway, a large engine like your 408 in a light car needs the advance to come in quickly. Having all your advance in by 2600 RPM is not too fast unless the engine pings. Total advance should be 34 - 36 deg.

I always have all the advance in by 2500-2800 rpm Even my 3600 pound chevelle with an automatic likes all the curve in by 2500 rpm, same rpm as the converter.
