just adjust at idle to whatever you want set at (12/14 degrees) base and lock it down then rev to 3,000 or so and see if you are around 32/34 degrees

Ok that is the pick up instead of points now is it a vacume or mechanical secondaries? Set timming to 12 degrees then bring up the rpm's to about 3k and see were total timing is it should be around 34 degrees total timing. If it isn't then bring it back down to idal and add a degree or two to bring the total to 34 degrees.
