on the HEI, I would start about 10-12 BTDC. the Hei dist has (as a rule) less mechanical advance built into the dist as compaired to the old points dist. You might opt for a Crane adjustable advance can, & recurve to suit your driving habits. The crane kit has pretty good instructions on how to set it up. Good luck,crazyL
