I've got a few questions...

how does a higher compression head alter the operation of a gyro style advance on the distributor shaft?

How can you effectively measure the optimum 10 degrees of timing for each 1000 rpm with a quadrant lever?

If too much timing advance causes center main bearing failure and the highest load on the engine is during acceleration how can you effectively advance the spark manually during acceleration without going into the 'danger' zone?

why did Ford immediately use mechanical flyweight timing advance in model B distributor along with the host of other design revisions with the model B?
