Hmm, so total advance under LIGHT LOAD (cruising, level ground, slight throttle) or 'off throttle' (slowing down) would equal 40 degress total advance, very conservative, under the above conditions.

26 total (base plus mechanical) does NOT sound like enough for the best WOT (wide open throttle) performance. I'd go for 32 or so and let the vacuum fall where it may.

One question not answered is: At what rpm do you reach max advance (mechanical)? I would think 2800 rpm or so sounds about right. Often it is MUCH higher than this.
