I'm still playing around with settings for both boost and timing. I have an exhaust manifold stud missing, and a slight leak, so i'm not pushing the car right now. My apc has been giving 16psi peak, coming to 13. My static timing is currently set to 18 BTDC. My distributor vacuum unit has been hit with a hammer such as to defeat retard, but maintain vacuum advance. The BTM is probably between .5 and .55 with a pressure regulator on it's air, set to around 12 or 13psi. total retard comes to about 11-10 BTDC, I set it at first with a timing light and mityvac test pump (mine does pressure too.), and then while driving to get max advance at boost without pinging. I don't touch it often, but i may have to retard more for hot weather.
