You might want to consider buying one of the degree pulleys.  They're about $15
and easy to install, and make it simple to see where your timing is set and to
check your advance.  I'd recommend the original size instead fo the "power
pulley", which will not only require a different size belt but as an added
"benefit" will also underdrive your fan.  :-)
