Default Re: Automatic Centrifugal Timing Device

The required advance curve is unique for your engine. It depends on many factors, such as the compression ratio, the mixture, and the engine load. Modern engines have many sensors and a computer and constantly change the ignition advance. In my experience, the computer under my hat does a pretty good job (not perfect) of adjusting the ignition advance. It does take some experience.
