I don't have use of a dyno right at the moment, but when I had it here, it seemed to do well with timing locked and set at 20-21 deg. Made good power from wide open down through to 1000 rpm anyway. I played with the dist at 1500 rpm and at 1200 rpm and it seemed to like the same timing. With some better tools I can be a little more accurate the next time I have the dyno. I changed dist last night to the 22 deg with light springs. Started with a base timing of -1 and full advance was 21 at about 1500. It ran and sounded like $h!t untill it got at least 10 deg of timing in it. That was at 800-900 rpm. This motor seems to want timing down low, but not too much up top. Like I said, with better tools, next time I have the dyno I will be able to get more accurate, but I have a good idea what it wants right now, and that's a small amount of advance coming on quickly.

BUT, if your overpowering the wheels now, its a good way to take a lil power out of em so they will hook up easier and has gained distance on the track. think of it as a shock absorber! been running a 400+ci smta on dyno n set at 15 base, no advance, set the timing at 1000 engine rpm n she runs just fine! pto wont handle it unless a big guy hangs on the pto lever to keep it enguaged. lol.
