Re: 396 BB Question=Need advice
At elevation you need to start the fire way earlier. You might find you’re up near 20 initial.
When I lived at 3800 feet I had a 396 like yours, I could run a locked in distributor with 30 degrees initial. Always started hot but I couldn’t run more than 10 degrees from the vac advance (at 2000 rpm) or I’d hear low rpm detonation. It was a beast of a motor. I drove it gently thru a 3ott too.
You need to experiment to find your optimal timing.
