Disconnect vacuum advance and rev the engine until the centrifugal advance is pegged out (i.e. with Macneish distributor, should be all in by 2500-2800 rpm). Adjust for 36 degrees total. Don't worry about initial timing setting. Reconnect vacuum advance. If road testing causes knocking, retard the timing in 2-degree increments until knock stops.
