Too much timing?

If it wants 24 at idle and it starts fine when hot, give it what it wants. Just make sure to limit the mechanical advance to compensate.

Does it stay at 24 when you reduce the idle RPM? At 850 with weak springs in the distributor, it may be advancing already.

Im most definitely gonna have to limit the mechanical. I dropped it back to 14 and checked the total again im getting 40 total without vacuum. Thats 26 mechanical advance. I will check the timing with the idle reduced to see if the mechanical is advancing at 850rpm
