With all your engine modifications aside, you need to deceide what octane gas you want to afford, then With the vacuum advance hooked up advance the timing just until the engine starts to buck a bit, then back it off a hair, test drive, if engine pings back it off just a hair at a time until it "just" pings or "just" doesn't ping & your there!!!-Supercab
