about my ignition curve (from previous posting)

check this out...
i've degree'd the balancer as per CHP. numbers are ok for a 8" dia. (about 14.3degrees/inch and found out the following:
1- with vacuum hose connected = 45degrees
2-disconnected (and plugged)= 28degrees
is it right?
both at 2000 rpm.
45 sounds like a lot to me...any ideas?
fernando.

45 at cruise is ok. As long as you don't get a knock.
