Run 36 degrees +- all in before 3000. You dont "need" a vacumm advance. Good idle with a auto and the proper converter should be near 850 in and out of gear. If standard, just plain ol 850 is fine. And a 68 435 car should be a 4 speed piece.

Neal, Thanks! Mine is running on the TI and has no vaccum advance. I'll set my total and let the idle fall wherever. If it's not too high to start, I'll be fine.
Didn't the TI have a vacuum advance?

Guaranteed for life as I suspect your one of those life timer parts purchasers whether or not you know how to use them. Really good in the bench racing BS sessions at your local cruise too.
