123 Ignition Distributor Timing Curve, Curve for carbureted 2056 Options

[SteveNMaine]

I am looking for the basic timing curve settings for a 123 TUNE+ 4-R-V-P distributor for a dual 40 IDF carbureted 2056.

I have been all over the different forums and really looking for more specific information for my build.

Thanks.

OK, thanks for the response.

Just to clarify, you're saying that you're firing the sparks in your 2056 at TDC (top dead center) from 0 to 1,000 RPMs?

That seems way too late. How is low RPM performance?

As I understand it, the 1-2-3 software draws in the section of the advance curve between the points that I programmed in. So linearly, since I have zero advance at 500rpm and 5 degrees at 1000rpm, it should look like:

500rpm - 0 degrees
600rpm - 1 degree
700rpm - 2 degrees
800rpm - 3 degrees
900rpm - 4 degrees
1000rpm - 5 degrees

Since it idles around 900rpm, it's never really running with spark at TDC except perhaps during cranking. Idles fine.
