Any one have any spark maps for their Cleveland they could share. I have been looking over several different engine combination spark base maps this weekend and it appears most higher performance engines making around 400 hp and a similar amount of torque Chevy or Ford have their timing around 18 degrees BTC and run around 42 degrees total advance by 4200 rpm. Does this sound about right for a mildly build 351c. I remember reading awhile back that Cleveland's tend to like lots of advance but I always though 14 degrees BTC was the recommended base advance for a mild street motor.

  
Cheers
