I need to know what is the max i can set my advanced timeing with out geting detonation so far i got it at 40 havent had any detonation knock on wood lost my last enginen to :cry:
 
Your timing at 40 total is a bit much. the specs call for 34-38 deg of total advance. As I learned not to long ago, there is more than one way to achieve this. We need more info.
Size of engine
Type of distributor
Type of Carb
Degree of advance plates in dist (If not Dual vac Loadomatic)

Please see following string:
