Depending on compression ratio, they will make best power around 28 total degrees advanced for below 10:1 CR.
With the lower compression engines its possible to have more ignition advance than required to make the most power, and even to the point of loosing power, before signs of detonation.
Its also important to look at the specs for the distributor you have to see when the advance comes in and at the max is.
