my timing light doesn't have advance adjustment.  i just do it at idle
(about 1000 rpm).  i guess i might be way off then, but at least i'm
not audibly pinging now.

can i just measure 30 degrees aroung the pulley, put a mark, and then
time it to that mark on max advance?  or do i have to buy an
adjustable timing light?

thanks,
Dan
