I set my base at 23 and total at 34 all in by 1800 RPM and it runs perfect with my combo.

Pretty much the same here.

So how much time do you think your engine spends under 1800 rpm on the street? Other than idling.

I don't see the need for the advance.


Very little. The reason mine is setup this way is to make sure it starts easy. 99% of the time it is at full advance.
