Thanks for the math ;) That was my next step to do the same calculations,
I'm just figuring I'm missing something, like is the marker on the block 5mm
wide, is that my guide?

>From memory the pulley is about 4 inches in diameter, say 10 cms. The
circumference then becomes about 31.4 cms. Therefore each degree is .87
mm.
A good place to set the timing to start with is static 5degrees btdc.
Make a
mark say 5 mm along the pulley against the direction of rotation and
make
the points break at that.. After that when the engine is running you do
road
tests and play with the vernier timing adjustment on the side of the
distributor for best results.
This works for me., anyway.
