Default How much total advance?
I'm redoing a 427 SO FE. alluminum heads , 11.5 ratio, 2-4s.Back 30+ years ago I had a few FEs (406 and 428).38° total was the destination. Stock distributors only did 10° (20° crank) 18° initial was a hard start.Now add the Veri-cam remember those?I had the the distributor done elongating the slots and replacing the springs so the distributor would do 30° crank and initial advance was a mear 8°. Total advance came in around 3,000 RPM.Old stuff.

How much ° total advance are you running on a 427 SO FE?
How much ° initial advance are you starting with?
How much advance is the distributor doing and at what RPM does it go to full advance?
