this will allow you to advance the distributor more to reach the correct initial timing advance...:nightmare:
insure you keep the correct firing order and separate the #5 & #7 plug wires, they are prone to cross-fire...
obtain a timing light and check-adjust the timing for 12*-18* BTC for starters.
what type of distributor do you have: stock or aftermarket?
delco-remy sounds stock = but is it an HEI or does it have points?
you will want to limit the total timing advance to 28*-34* based on the boost psi level...:encouragement:
