Go for a crane vac advance can,& limit the vac advance to about 10 degrees(approx .110 pull on the rod). I did mine by tack welding a small strip of sheet metal on the bracket. You can then run your initial 14-16 up,& total @ 34-36 with the can unhooked & plugged.I would plug the can to full man vac,then you should pull about 44 degrees under light throttle cruise. No fear,when you drop the loud peddle,you will be running on initial & mechanical advance only. For a street curve,try to use the springs that will give An "all in" @ 2800-3000 rpms on the mechanical advance. Good luck.....69 longhorn.
