YIKES. I'm not sure how this this is running - timing is waaaayyy retarded. Else the balancer is on wrong but I don't think it's possible to do that...? It has to be 25 degrees after TDC or more.

Yes I tweaked the advance knob and it moves the mark as it should.

So what should my idle advance be - 8 degrees BTDC?
Did you disconnect the vacuum advance before checking (#1 front driver side)?
