So I think I have it dialed in as Best as its gonna get.
I still notice some smoke coming from the exhaust when running hard in the upper RPMs, but the Plugs look like they're right about where they're suppose to be.
Is that a sign that I can lean it out some more or will the Timing advance help that?

Thanks Nubs. I pulled off the flywheel cover and plastic fins yesterday but I need to finish making the a flywheel remover to get the flywheel off. Hope I don't have any problems getting the flywheel off. I'll post pics of the process when done, there isn't much info on Image Search of the timing advance process.
After that, I I've read about advancing or retarding the stock Cam 1 tooth. Im just not sure which will be better for Duning, low end or Top end.
The flywheel will pop right off, I'd just cut the key in 1/2 and that'll get ya a few degrees to start. I don't buy into that retardin' the cam deal, if your gonna bother to get to the cam just spend the money and buy one that been ground and dyno tested
Pulled the Flywheel and Key.
Not sure how much of the key to shave down. I've read from up to 1/3-1/2 but that may have been just for the lower HP Vanguards.
How does the flywheel look like its in good shape?
Ok So I advanced the timing by half of the key which is about 8 degrees.
I also did some mods to the Primary Clutch. Closed the gap a bit between the primary sheaves, It had a 3/16" gap between brand new belt and sheave, so I modded it to bring it in which now has about 1/16" gap.
Car feels great on take off, It will pull all the way through until I run out of room in the parking lot.
Only thing I'm concerned about is, it feels like it takes longer to get through 3500 RPM range.
Its hard to explain and I don't feel like pulling it apart again to put it back to zero or try Retarding it to get the full affect.
What should the performance change feel like by advancing the timing?
does it pull hard again after it gets passed 3,500? Sounds like it may just be the clutches not shifting when they need to be. once ya change one thing it sometimes moves or creates a another problem.
