How far should I advance ignition timing

Advance at idle is a starting point only.  Total advance is the only true measure between 4K and 6k.  If more than 34-35 deg, I would be very careful.  Have you tried putting the car in 3rd or 4th at low RPM and flooring the throttle up a hill?  You would notice pinking in most cases.  Pinking will kill your engine.  The 'fix' for the US cars is covered extensively on the Pelican Forum and its is more than turning up the advance I believe.
