The colored springs on the advance mechanism (under the rotor) can be swapped out to control the rpm where the engine reaches max advance .. dependent on intended use.
That's with your and my setup. With the full ECU running the timing show you have to set it up differently, as per those threads that I posted, else you're going to end up with 30, 40, or 50 degrees at startup. Putting a light on it with someone starting it up for him will at least tell him if something is really amiss.
