FE 427 - timing curve

[priobe]

Hello all

I would like to know if anyone has a timing curved map that they would like to share. I am looking for drivability.

I have a Progression Ignition that so far I absolutely love. MSD missed the boat on this technology, on my 427 FE with 48 Weber carbs. Currently I have not hooked up the map sensor but plan on combining all the vacuum signals to route to the map sensor.

So far the car runs a lot stronger and is more predictable and definitely has street manners.

I’m not looking to debate, but I know this works for me. I’m just trying to see how much manners I can  teach this motor and still have the power that it has.

From here I can change the mapping to be more aggressive for better fuel or reduce the aggression with lower quality fuels.

I would love to hear some feedback on this topic or distributors.

Thanks

I run everything locked and use start retard.  That includes the street/strip car.  I prefer crank triggers, personally.

Plus one on crank triggers.

Distributor curve per Ford Muscle Parts that has worked just fine for me in the past.

Distributor rpm  250       500     1000     1500     2000       2500
                        0*       1 3/4*   7 3/4*   10*      12 1/4*   14 1/2*

Initial advance 12-14*  Total timing with iron heads 38*  Aluminum heads ~34* depending on combustion chamber design.
Yes, some iron heads will make the most power at 41-42* total timing depending on the engine.
