Any slop that's in the timing mechanism is always there. It's included in base timing. Therefore, nothing to worry about, or compensate for. Although an interesting tidbit of info, not a whole lot of practical application. Set base timing at 10*, mechanical at 24*, and advance base timing as needed. Most of the time, there's no advantage to more than 36*.

MSD says they don't make a bushing to get less than 18* of mechanical advance. Where did you get yours? Did you make it yourself?
