Yeah, there is few ways to do that. I'm getting it pretty close right now.
- Like to post a few tuning tips along the way that my car likes (key is what the car likes). I took the distributor apart. I took the weak spring on the mechanical advance from a junk dizzy and used it to replace the heavy spring on mine. I stopped about .100 of the mechanical slot on the weights. It has 18 degrees of mechanical advance. My timing right now is 20 degrees advanced initial (low idle) and 38 degrees fully advanced. Car sounds and responds really good there. Pulls like it should throughout the long, never ending gears LOL.... So I think the timing is very close and is where I'll start. Only thing is, the weak spring I put in it allows it to be fully advanced by about 1800 -2000 rpm's (I'd prefer it not to be fully in till about 3000 rpm's, then run the vacuum advance) so I am not running the vacuum advance for now.
