[DeTomaso] 351C timing

[Göran Malmberg]

The hotter the cam the more the static advance.
I run 18 dgr static as for comparsion on my Hemi.
You may try to rise the static until the engine dont 
like to crank on the starter then back it of by a 
few dgr. If the static gets high you must shorten
the total curve then.
