 I continue to be puzzled by the usually recommended total advance @ 2500 RPM of 27* for our cars. The JH Lucas distributor has an 11* mechanical advance (22* crankshaft advance) that when added to an 8*-12* static advance comes to 30*-34* total advance.

Adding to this puzzle even more is the Lotus Eclat distributor I recently picked up with a 14* mechanical advance.

I have seen both 27* & 32* recommended as total advance all in @ 2500 RPM. Which is correct?

Am I leaving some performance on the table with the advance limited to 27*?

Thanks ~ Rick
