After getting the distributor back in the car Ill drive it for awhile and then start playing with the vacuum advance. The jeggs dist. only comes with 5-7* in the can. From what I've been reading the complete total timing should be around 18 initial, 16 mechanical, and 45*-50*total with the vacuum advance hooked up for cruising the highway (economy).

Thanks for the shout out on my manifolds!! And yes you answered my question, I only wish I had your patience for the distributor work?? My Barracuda runs fine but I know that adjusting the timing would help!!

Treblig,
Believe or not it doesn't really take that long. I just installed it in the car, fired it up, and set the initial at 18*. Two things I noticed already and I haven't even left the driveway. 1. Fired right off with no hesitation. 2. This thing is revving right up like never before. I can't wait to test drive it and dial it in. Then of course I still need to work the vacuum advance.
