You want all the timing in by 3000 rpm, but you should check the total timing at 3500 rpm. Often times magnetic trigger distributors back up a degree or two by 3500 rpm. I don't know why, but they do -- it's just one of those things in life that is hard to figure out. Kind of like why Superman could stop bullets with his chest but would still duck down when the bad guy threw the empty gun at him.
