sn't  that WAY too high? Should be 32-34 max for the mech adv. The 
vac adv can  add more, but only at low throttle. If you're using a FI 
distributor with  the vacuum advance connected to a carb port, it's 
quite possible that  you're abusing it.

You should never be able to see 40 adv in the  driveway, under any 
circumstances.

That alone will make it run  hot.



I'm running an SVDA in mine, and it has a total advance of 30*, all in at  
3000 rpms. I've always been told (and have even read) that you don't want 
more  than 32*, unless you're at light load. There's been a time where I've 
tried  it though, but I could hear it pinging. I immediately  stopped, went to 
the back of the car, and knocked some timing out of it to  get back home (I 
was on a test loop).
