I usually set mine at 20°BTDC and it does well. If your distributor's advance
mechanism is in good shape you could probably turn it to where it idles fastest
and see what it is, and if it doesn't knock and doesn't kick back against the
starter it is probably pretty good. It shouldn't advance much beyond 35-37°
at full centrifugal advance.
