PPPLLLEEAAASSSEEE HHHEEELLLPPPP!
 
Short answer: Don't worry about it, that is the way it is supposed to work.


Installing the SPOUT after setting the base timing with it removed allows the computer to advance the timing. It is not unusual for the timing to jump up to the 20 degree mark when the computer takes control of the ignition timing.
