My Demons love initial advance, more so than a comparable Holley.
Give the crew some more specifics and I'll bet you get some answers.

You may want to lock your advance in the dist and set the timing at 36 deg,with 8.5-1 comp you shouldn't have any problems starting the engine and the 36 deg at idle and low rpm really cleans up the engine.keep your same 1 deg per lb.Bill
