So I'm going to go get this HEI distributor curved but I'm not exactly sure what to tell the guy. This isn't a DUI so I'm hoping it doesn't have the same issues that others on here have encountered with the rotor binding on the weights, etc. It's going into the old engine and will be there for quite some time because it'll take me quite a while to rebuild the new engine. He only charges $65 to curve it, so if I have to have it done again later, it's not going to break the bank.
That being said, what I think I "need" is about 36* of total advance, reached at about 3000 RPM. I intend to set initial advance to 12-14*. Does this sound reasonable? I believe this lines up with some of the advice I've seen through a number of the threads on here, but it never hurts to double check right?
For those curious, this is what I actually bought:
