Initial timing set @ 30*. Engine seems happy?

In response to post25; yes, yes, yes and maybe.First verify TDC with the aformentioned pistonstop ( this is the foundation).Next/2nd set initial( with vacuum advance disabled). 3rd set idle rpm. 4th adjust power timing(also called all-in, or total mechanical).5th reconnect and tune the vacuum advance for driveability and economy.This is the basic tune.Earlier posters gave excellent starting numbers.
