Just slightly less than the Ohms of the Lowest Impedance in the Circuit.. = Parallel..BTW
Front cylinder coming up on compression, Rear Cylinder at TDC.... Front pretty much has to be at 45 degrees advanced...

And... a well tuned Ironhead, with good gas, will run very well indeed at up to 45 Degrees lead!!!
