Base timing. Really ?

When take the distributor apart enough to get to the advance plate you can see how much advance is in there. The plate (aka governer) will be stamped with the approx degrees. Also take all the measurments with a caliper so you have your own reference.
Measure the distance between the slots as well as the length of each slot. That way you'll have a complete reference.
