This is a very nice article on setting timing and one section relates max
timing to compression ratio.

Chris,
Can you give some numbers? Until my experience with this motor that turned
out to be caused by the spark coil (not the carburetor), numbers between
32-36 degrees total advance full in by 2,500-3,000 rpm seemed to be the
correct range for Windsor motors. Mine have always run best with 36
degrees, but some motors built by Wally Cartwright that were run on a dyno
ran best with 32. I think they had pretty high compression though. (14:1 ?)
