After all the playing around we did, we went back to 22 degrees intial with 15 degrees advance for a total of 37. We did disconnect the vacuum advance that I had hooked up as they said it was pulling the timing up into the mid forties. It runs fine without it hooked up. I didn't catch when peak torque was made but the pulls were made to about 6500 and he told me that I should be shifting around 6200. I looked at the printout he gave me and it was in the mph mode when he printed so all I know is that I made peak torque at 123 mph!!!

I also ran the car by some truck scales on the way home and it weighed in at 3400 lbs. That's about what I expected with the Dana rear and full interior with sound deadener.
