Hi Rob.
So far I set it on the generic opening, starts to open 35-45degrees
before BDC and closes 5 degrees after ODC.  This is from memory, so I may
be off a  little.  It had no trouble running at 160 rpms on the coil and
plug.
I was looking on the WAPA web site for a picture to send to Rick S. but
can't find it.  What happened to all the old show pictures?
