Apache , figured taking the reading from just one might be useless but figured its better info than nothing, I will take it with a grain of salt.

Those came out sweet!!! Maybe I can have your guy dip my manifolds this winter?

You ended up using the tails? Cool, spent some coin getting those polished, glad you could use them.

So why would you lock the timing? This is new to me so I truly don't understand the benefits of it, if any. It seems like total advance is what you're looking for and the curve to retard it at idle was to protect the motor/help idle, to be simple about it.
