It would be too much if you had vacuum advance in addition to

that. You might have noted that I usually recommend that

advance with EVERYTHING CONNECTED, while most others say with

the vac disconnected. I have low confidence in vac systems

so in case it doesn't work, you still want that advance at idle

and more when it revs up. I've been doing it that way over 20

years and it works great for me. Less results in lower power,

overheating and burnt exhaust components. If you get excessive

pinking or kicking back against the starter, you've gone too far

and should set it back some. But to me, the proof of the pudding

is in the eating and I've got at least one manual that backs that

up. I normally run 21-24 degrees.
