I'm sure it's not advanced to far. I have it advanced as far as it will physically go, and it isn't far enough. At idle, the timing light shows that the timing is set on the TDC mark. It should be seat at the 6 degres BTDC mark. I can't go any further though. I know I'm going the right direction because the car barely runs if I go the other way.
