Leo,
I know this is going to sound stone ax and all,...
On my '80, the dynamic timing is supposed to be 23deg. , however, after some experimentation, I found it runs really strong at 28deg. I was curious, so I checked it at idle, with no vac advance,.... Lo and behold a static timing of 8deg.
(the same setting my old GTO, and ski boat used). Usually the smog guys will retard timing to get a lower emission level. Unfortunately, this also sucks up your power . Just my 2 cents.
