I was reading some of the old posts from the old forum regarding timing. I learned a lot from the posts but I still can't figure out whether to set the timing to 12 initial on the balancer or to where I get the highest vacuum?

If you're sure TDC is correct on your damper, set with a light to 8-10 BTDC...vacuum advance disconnected and idle at approx. 750rpm

If not sure, do WOT ping method....it should be described in previous posts on the subject..

Set the idle mixture to highest vacuum after doing what Pat said above.

Just my 2 cents. If the engine is stock, set it with the light to factory specs. If its not stock, I always use the WOT ping method then check it with the light to see where it is, so you have a baseline to work from later when you make more mods.
