1/2 to 3/4 down is the normal position. These monsters really don't need 40º of advance. Full advance may be OK for continued highway speeds. I never [ well, very seldom ] bring the lever fully down. Just set where 'it' likes it.

Over the years the ' mechanism' wears and the lever doesn't want to stay put. Many are like that. This can be fixed but requires some work.
Yup all by it's self. Runs fine in that 'sweet spot'. Think I'll just leave it alone. Actually it's kinda cool have the Model A tell you where it wants to run. Thanks
