My timing slipped and the distributor was loose so my fault but wanted to hear what else people used before Thanks very much in advance.

Gary Kneisely has been sending back daily reports........ About your timing, set it to what the book calls for, I show 4 degrees befor TDC, assume you know how to do that timing light or test lamp, drive it and see if it pings under light load when you stick your foot in it, if not advance a couple more degrees, find the point where it just pings and set it back just a tad. This is not rocket science. The weber carbs have nothing to do with timing. Compression, octane, and air temp are the factors. If you run higher octane fuel, you can dial in a little more advance. You are at the proper point using what you have if you set it just so it starts to ping. You can listen to all the bs from the 'experts' but this is the optimum set up. Your lack of vacuum advance is not an issue, but make sure the centrifical advance weights in the distributor are free to move.
