But you need to take advantage of an adjustable vacuum/mech advance distributor.

If everybody would post a graph of their timing curve, it would be easier to compare. Note that I idle at around 700 to 750 RPM. That's when I'm at 10 degrees. I'm up to 15 degrees at about 1300 RPM and all in around 2800 RPM. If the next guy is idling at 1100 RPM and says he has 15 degrees at idle, then he's really not a lot different than I am down low. Of course, the all in timing is the most important thing for overall power and performance, but the curve will affect how your around town slowwww driving is more than you think.
