I'm running a 5.5 head with the stock distributor with the addition of a Phillips Automatic Spark Control. It limits auto advance to 30°. I also have a Pertronix Flame Thrower Coil. The combo works pretty good, no detonation. I can still retard/advance manually if needed. The lever is usually at ~10 o'clock. No need to move the lever for starting either.
