My trip to the track...

I will have to check and see how much mechanical I can add back in. Since the starter is the small gear reduction unit, it doesn't seem to strain too much at 20 degrees initial timing.

I have not changed the jetting.

I have my weather meter in my helmet bag and forgot to pull it out and take readings. It was mid 70s and not too humid. Makes for a nice evening at the track.

I think I am losing 2-3 tenths because the car is traction limited. I have to ease into the gas coming off the starting line and I was still getting into mild wheel hop 20-30 feet out.

I think I need to look at quickening the advance curve and finding more traction.

It seems to like the total number in the low 40's, not necessarily the initial number (harder to start).

Add some mechancial advance back into the distributor so you can keep the starter from straining and dial in the total timing it needs.

Have you jetted up at all?

What was the DA?

It's losing about 2-3 tenths in the first 330" which is probably the vac carb.

Nice work, it's coming around.
