Ronnie: Here is what I do. Set it static at 7 to 8 degrees BTDC. Then put
your strobe on there and check it at 3,000 rpm or so, not full throttle. It
should be around 28-30 degrees BTDC. Most people recommend around 30 degrees
at full advance. That is what I use. Some will say as much as 32. Personally
I like to be a bit conservative and stick with 30. I do not know what
distributor you are running. Sounds like stock or an SVDA. With the 009 it
should be around 7 at static, maybe 8 or 9 at idle and 30 total at around
2,500-3,000 rpms.. The 009s normally advance a total of just about 23 degrees.

Okay, I know I ask this every year or so and promise to write it down.
I set my timing with a static light and now I'm trying to use a timing light.
I have a degree pulley. What should it read at full throttle? For some reason
32 sticks in my head.
Do I take the vacuum off or not?
Thanks
Ronnie
