This article will give you a good, basic explanation - better than I could! http://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/hei.shtml John von Mar 15th, 04, 3:21 PM The total advance commonly referred to is intial plus mechanical (weight, springs, and limit bushing controlled. DOES NOT include vacuum advance. Disconnect and temporarily plug the vacuum advance line when checking initial or total. Most Chevy V8's like 36 to 40 degrees total. 36 is a good starting point. Too much and you run the risk of detonation which can damage the engine. | ||
