I do not believe that is a significant factor, either, Al.  After all, we're suppose to do our ignition checks on the ground before take off {:>).  My understanding is that best power on the 13B has ignition timing between 25-28 deg BTDC, so not surprising that the 20B would fall in that range also.  Sounds reasonable to me.

I wondered if perhaps one issue was that I was doing the ignition check static, on the ground; where the combination of RPM and MAP would be different than in the air.  But on checking with Tracy’s spreadsheet on the timing settings, over a fairly broad range above about 4900 the timing is (should be) in the range of 26 to 28 degrees BTDC.
