timing advances... and many questions...
i had to start a new thread rather than jack the other timing thread... that and i got to page 5 and everyone was still arguing... i couldn't make sense of half of it.
what is a reasonable advance to use to improve performance on a stock 12a - nikki w/o rats nest... and what are the risks of detonation... will the advance make my engine run cooler? ... and what is the preferred method to adjust the timing. I've been working on these cars for years but i truly am clueless in this area.

Paul Yaw recommends 24L and 16T. This is total advance at wide open throttle.
To do this you mark the pully at 24* and 16*. Five degree increments works well. The pully is exactly 360mm in circumference so it's easy to do. To set the timing you need to disconnect the vacuum advance and rev the engine to about 3000rpm so it's at full mechanical advance.

Well, a NA rotory will detonate if you advance the timing too far (sounds like marbles rattling around inside a coffee can), but it will rarely do any damage unless it is long term.
