Rawits ...ok, for my understanding lets do this........... my crank pulley shows a degree range of 10 degrees BTDC and then progresses to 30 ATDC. 0 is TDC. Now, since we are talking the 'range' of degrees in terms of advance to be about 33-35 degrees (lets call it 35) we can expect if I set my static timing at 10 degrees BTDC then my total advance being 35 degrees would reflect 25 degrees ATDC on the crank pulley under a stroboscope.
I ask this because everyone refers to the total timing being 35 degrees and to set the load or dynamic timing at 3500 RPM with the total advance of the distributor. The mistake I was making was setting the total advance on my crank pulley to 35 degrees by the marks of the pulley making me about 10 degrees off the mark, so to speak, lol.
Distributors are simple enough but when we discuss them we make it more to be than it is. Keeping my brain in check without going nuts took me a long time to figure out just what everyone was 'really' talking about. Am I right or am I still missing something. No pun. Bone
