glad to hear you got it going heather! degrees of advance is going to vary greatly from motor to motor.. since yours is bone stock, its probably going to be around 10 degrees or less.. My truck with exhaust and intake (otherwise fairly stock) LOVES a lot of advance.. your best bet in my opinion, is set it to about 8 or 10 degrees and drive it.. go up a hill, in high gear, full throttle.. listen for pinging.. see how the engine starts.. if theres no pinging, and the starter has no problem cranking the engine, advance it a little bit.. like 1/8" to 1/4" at the vacuum advance canister.. then try again.. when you start to get pinging, or problems cranking the engine, back it off a little bit. leave the distributor clamp tight so its not going to move by itself but loose enough to where you can adjust it on the side of the road if needed.. hot weather and different gas might give you different results too, its just a matter of trial and error..
keep us informed! especially about that long range driving problem you were having.. im anxious to know if its fixed or not
