Easy to find your all in rpm. Just keep turning the idle screw up until timing quits advancing then quick like a bunny check your tach. Plug off vac advance off course.
You can limit your vac advance with a simple little tab made by Moroso.
Here’s a link I like on timing.

What’s your idle rpm is another question? |
Geeze,you linked that before, and I saved the page. It's kinda what kickstarted all this. The mark was confirmed by the the builder of the engine. He used an inkpen on one of two hashmarks that came on the new balancer. I just trusted his mark. I'll do the "bunny check" tomorrow. Thanks for that one btw. Do you think my vac can pulls too much? Is it pulling 20 degrees if it jumped my static from 14 to 34 btdc? Edit I've not paid attention to idle rpm, but I will. Its usually a bit high in summer for the AC and i drop it to a smooth rumble the rest of the year.
