Are you just trying to see if it advances?   I feel like you don't need all
that fancy stuff for that.  But it would take some rigging, and a variable
speed motor.

A friend has one of these which is the best way to assess
centrifugal advance...

But I can get a pretty accurate curve by just using a timing light with an
advance dial to get readings at various RPMs then plotting on a graph.

 Of course, if you have a running engine and a timing light you have all yo=

I do have a timing gun.
