I just did some reading over at Fordmuscle.com and I think I now know why my car's been a bit of a disappointment. I've been running 32* total timing on my car and my CR is only about 9.0:1 . According to them I should have my total timing between 38-42*! One of their project cars picked up 30rwhp and a boatload of torque by going from 30* total to 42*!
Anyways, my initial timing is 14* and it only seems to advance 18* (even though it's on a 10L weight) so I think I need new weights and probably a spring with less tension.
Anyways, what does everyone else run for advance? What should I use as my starting point?
