Fred-

Can't you change your total timing independently of your initial timing?

You should be able to - if you can't then perhaps your distributor could be sent out to a shop specializing in doing this.....

Jeb is on the right track as to why your initial needs to be different.

Something you must consider is one of the various kinds of timing retard boxes available from companies like MSD that will save your engine when the boost kicks in and your enemy is too much advance! I believe they are all programmable so that you can decide how much retard you want at what RPM....

I hope this helps.

Pat
