I have to also agree with you Hollow65....the TOTAL timing is more important than where the initial sets....bet the other "geezer' will agree also Generally 20 -22 @ idle speed (intitail+ vacumn advance), will give you the spot to close the throttle a tad & get the transfer slots about right. Then she don't run pig rich @ idle speed.... Longhorn
