I cant get my initial below 12*. The motor runs like total crap if I take the initial below 14*. I have reworked the internals of the dist. and my total timing is around 36* without the vacuum advance connected. My numbers on my balancer ae correct. With the vacuum advance connected this motor screams. If the temp goes above 170* I get pinging. I was thinking the valve action might need to be advanced 2* more in order to get the ignition down a bit. If the temp stays below 170* I could probably run even more advance, although I know not to. It seems that with the timing set correctly that this would be an engines optimum performance and this engine runs best at above about 44*, set with vacuum advance plugged and then reconnected.
