Solutions for too much compression

What octane do you run?
I can run 91 octane and just get by with 185psi @25 degrees total timing, with a .030 quench distance
22 total ,180psi and open non quench, adds up. Try premium and or booster..then lock the distributor out at 22 btdc. No advance just 22 degrees 24-7..it will run better like that than with 3 btdc.

Are you suggesting locking in the mechanical advance and using no vacuume advance? I am receiving my advance limiter disk thing on Friday, so I will give it a try. I previously tried to limit the dist advance to only about 10 degrees (by jimmy rigging the heavy spring from extending) and using more initial, and it did seem to run better.
