Thanks for the prompt reply. An inference would be:

Autolite was used on Clippers and Golden Hawks, which could be had with a manual transmission, so less initial advance was used.

Delco was used on the senior cars, which could not be had with manual, so more initial advance was used.

Second, 30 degrees total timing as the specs furnished above is way short, so Packard must have been having some complaints about pinging.

thnx, jack vines
