what slot to set the dist. at.....well actually either one, theoretically with a light car you can use the higher advance slot. personally i would use the lower advance slot, because we probably are not hurting in the power department at low rpm, so why kill the tires even more? right? JMHO

But this is the only way to set the advance timing, right? (Other than widening the advance slot a bit with a grinder if i needed to or buying a different advance cam). So advance of 30 seems crazy while 20 seems pretty close and I can get there by adjusting my base timing. (Oh, I will modify my details in the first post, but my bore and stroke are both standard).
