Minimum best timing

I just learned about minimum best timing what degree should I set my timing to achieve maximum power? I set it back to factory when I put my new distributor on and that’s why I believe it feels like it has less power. I’m thinking of advancing it by 2-4 degrees what do y’all think?

Re: Minimum best timing

I got more with around 12, but you'll have to play with it to see what works best for you. Go a degree at a time and then stop when you feel a loss of power.
