And as long as the total isn't over 35° or so you will be ok. More initial, less mechanical advance. The vacuum can get as high as 50° as long as you don't ping.You’ll more than likely end up around 16-19 initial. My 360 really like 18-19.

Thanks mike, that’s the part I forgot.And as long as the total isn't over 35° or so you will be ok. More initial, less mechanical advance. The vacuum can get as high as 50° as long as you don't ping.
10 is a good starting place as long as the engine is in decent condition, you are taking the vacuum line off the distributor when setting it?
Eddy carbs have issues with hot starts from under-hood heat, but you could also have a starter itself issue, how close is the exhaust running by the starter.

Cranks n cranks till I floor it than fires if it sits for 5 min fires right up if it sits for a half hour crank n crank til I floor itHelp us with your hard start symptoms:
- Is it cranking over once or twice and then wanting to just stop?
- Or is it cranking and cranking at regular cranking speeds but not firing?
Will do thank youGet rid of that rubber fuel line and put in a metal one. Does your car have bald tires? Probably not and the risk associated with your car being wrecked (from a bald tire failure) is about as high as running a rubber fuel line above a hot engine.
OK... while your ignition timing may be helped with some work, that is not the cause of the hot starting problem. You have too much fuel (flooding) or not enough fuel.Cranks n cranks till I floor it than fires if it sits for 5 min fires right up if it sits for a half hour crank n crank til I floor it
It looks from your pix that you have a carb spacer/insulator, but no carb heat shield under the carb. I'd be looking at something like this to help keep heat away from the carb:I'e got a 4bbl edy n performer intake n petronix ignition what' a good initial timming I'm getting hard start when hot I've put the recommnded carb spacer on it was thinking timming off it' at 10btc now

I keep it floord
When you floor it to finally get it to start, do you hold it to the floor and keep it continuously held to the floor and crank for a while, or just push to the floor and release it and then it starts? (Just trying to figure out if it is flooding, or starving for fuel.)
