I think I understood some of that.The Mallory #29015 advance curve change kit came today from Century Performance . I ordered it Tuesday and it arrived Thursday.The instruction sheet talks about a steady curve and a break out curve. I haven't figured one out yet. Performance is a consideration but it is a street driven car. It is supposed to go through emissions every other year. Granted it will never pass and I will have to go through the waiver prosces, but I have to show a little regard for tring to meet standards .Given the lightness of the car,aluminum heads ,cam, and single plane intake manifold, 11.5/1 comp ratio and 92 octane gasoline,and the peculiarities of an FE.How much initial how much total advance.Before I sent the carbs away I could get the car to idle around 600 rpm . I raised it to 700 just for oiling.Do I want a steady curve or a break out curve which advances quickly then slows down untill totaled is reached?This kit looks like it will do anything.
