A performance curve will usually call for 20 to 30 degrees of advance by 3000 rpm (with a total of between 30 and 40 degrees), so use a dial-back-to-zero timing light to set your total advance for ...

Aim a timing light at the balancer and watch what happens to timing as you increase engine speed. Total timing, around 34-36 degrees BTDC, should be in by 3,000-3,500 rpm.

Ignition timing is the single most important tuning adjustment on an internal-combustion engine, yet the concept of ignition curves continues to be elusive.
