In the 2nd edition of Jim Kartalamakis' book, he outlines how to modify a late Bosch distributor so that it advances only 22 degrees. He recommends setting the static advance at 10 - 14 degrees, yeilding a maximum total advance of 32 to 36 degrees. The curve shown in his book (see pages 82 - 83) goes flat at 4,000 crankshaft rpm. So, the answer to your second question is "yes".

I will admit that total maximum advance settings in the low 30's sound low to me, but that's what Jim K. is advocating.
