He could just keep checking it like he was……at like 2k……and keep retarding it 1-2deg at a time…….and then after zeroing in on what setting yielded the best power……..zing it up to 6k and make note of what the true total timing was.

I thought on the last pull he was at 26*, at whatever rpm he was checking it at.
