update

I am thinking pointer is correct. disconnected advance line attached my 40 yr old + vacuum gauge. 20 pounds steady. need tach but got idle down as low as it will go but not sure actual number. my tim ing light shows me just past scale when I seem to be in the right spot as far as performance goes, no hard crank, no ping, runs much better.
its hard to read the scale is the last number 12? my eyes aint what they used to be. could the weight springs be nfg, might have to pull distrib this weekend and look.

any comments appreciated
