I have a mallory distributer centrifigal advance onlyI've just gotten the car running a little now the carbs are gone. .It appears that it only advances 10° to make 20° at crank. I currently have initial ignition set at 12°bftdc. My Mallory HyFireVI has a auto start retard which I have programed to 8°. So anything under 500rpm it starts at 4°bftdc and shifts to 12°bftdc. Then when it reves it advances to a total ignition advance of 32°bftdc.With the little bit it has run it seems OK .Time will tell if it creates a problem .Yoo much initial ? Not enough total ?
Thirty years ago I thought 38° bftdc total was the usual for an FE.
What are you running ?what have you done ?
