With todays fuels I would start with about 15deg btdc vacuum advance disconnected See how it runs. You may need to modify the distributor

Problem solved.

Pinned the vacuum advance and set base at 12 btdc.
trans has manual vavle body and was starting in second gear.
Car hauls ***, gets sideways in second, good idle and street characteristics.
Total advance about 34-36, no hesitation and good plug reading, no detonation.
Thanks for your replies!
