You are running the stock distributer right.  I used to run 10-12 
depending on the season.  I would back it off during the hot summer 
months.  If you have it too high you will hear it ping esp around 4k 

You may consider a euro curve distributer ($100) with that you can 
run 16 deg on 87 octane(i do all the time)  and you get lots of 
torque around 3,000rpm

What would the best timing advance be for an 8v motor with 2 1/4" cat 
back exhaust, running 93 octane, and ram air??? I am getting my 
timing light back soon and need to time my car. I was just wondering 
what the best seems to be for all the 8v people out there. Thanks
