Excaliber: One answer, although you'll always read it's not recommended, is to have your distributor start advancing at a lower rpm. Really, a dist should not start advancing until above idle, or say 1000 rpm.

Mine starts somewhere around 500 rpm (or possbly lower) and increases to 20 deg at idle (a little oveer 800 rpm for me). I think it's around 14 deg when not advanced, i.e. a static test would show 14 deg. That makes it great for cranking.

I have mine set for 38 max, but may change that to 36 for safety's sake. I also think I can get away with a little more intial. I do know that 28 is too much, but I may try 22 and then 24 intial.
