[Fot] Timing advice clarification

[Jim Gray]

I don't know the advance of the old distributor. I was the only part on
the car that was not replaced or rebuilt.
I used the Lucas 25D with vacume advance. I replaced it mainly because I
thought the advance was questionable.

I don't think my system is the same as yours because it advances 1 deg
for each 100 rpm  it ramps up from 19 deg advanced to 30 deg  advance
up to 3000 rpm from there it runs up to 35deg total advance. I would not
change the jetting if the only thing you changed is the dist. I would
try  try reduceing the 27deg mark to around 22 -23 and let the full
advance come in around 2800rpm. Do you know the curve of the old dist?

I said in my last email that coming off the throttle, I meant getting in
the throttle and that's below 2500 RPM.
Throttle response is good from 2500 and up. It just barely runs under
2K.
