yes. :biggrin:

Unless it's a true racer. Of course, you'll have to adjust a few items...lol, but it will run better, for longer, and get better milage. that may not be a concern for you.

experiment
try disconnecting the vacuum advance & setting total timing at 38* at 3000 rpm & see if it runs better & cooler , if not og the other way & connect the vacuum & adjust the advance to lengthen the curve again
 let us know what works fo r you
