For distributors where the springs hang slack as many did as new there is a marked difference between hand cranked static advance and low speed advance as per a timing light. if the weights and pins not seriously worn, some idea of max advance on car can be obtained by locking at full advance with a washer and long screw down the middle, all twisted and locked at full advance and hand cranked. The hard part is finding a long correct thread.
