The question of where it should be timed at idle depends on not much more than 
how much advance the distributor give you. If the dist gives you 22.5 deg of 
advance, then 7.5 is a good place to start.

The '69 dist that we got over here with the FI give just about 30 deg of mech 
advance. Thus they get timed at TDC at idle.
