which advance springs should I use?

hey guys, I just bought a hei tune up kit made by pertronix from Summit. It comes with a new cap, coil, rotor, vaccum advance unit, module, and new advance springs and weights. It has three differnent springs in it and I was wondering which ones I should put in? The engine is a completely stock LG4 with 700R4 behind it. It is daily driven and I need it to be reliable and fuel efficient. But I also don't have to pass emmisions I usually try and keep her under 3000 rpms, except when racing (like once a month or so). Here is the chart with the degrees of advance in it.


Also, how should I set the vaccum advance. It is adjustable from 22* to full lock out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a completely stock LG4, then those parts don't go in it. They're for distributors with centrifugal and vacuum advance, which a computer-controlled distributor doesn't have.

Oh, I guess I haven't looked under my hood in a while. Is everthing else the same (cap, coil, module, rotor, etc.)?
