Don,
On modified engines the centrifugal advance must often be decreased
to allow more initial advance which will increase bottom end torque
and allow the engine to idle at a reasonable speed. The rate of
advance can also be changed with lighter tension springs. Many stock
advance curves don't reach full advance until 4000 or more RPM. I'm
sure this info is available on line in much greater depth.

Hey, that's a good idea. First time I heard that.
I'm having some initial advance issues which are making it hard
to start. I can use that to see where the initial timing is
located. Seem like there is not enough initial advance even
though its set to 37 degrees at full advance.

installation question.
Jay,
I forgot to mention my initial timing routine. Set the
damper at the advance you desire-with the ignition key in
run position and the coil wire close to a ground-rotate
the distributor opposite normal rotation and note the
spark timing. turn it back and forth rapidly and you can
judge where it should be set. This will get you very
close.

Gentlemen!,, With the #1 Piston at its
highest point, and a brand new after market
"Harmonic Balancer" at its zero
mark along with the stock timing covers TDC
mark.
Were should the rotor in the stock
distributor be pointing to, in order to get
the best possible start.
Thank you all,
Jay Rod. 65 Coronet 500.
