My guess is that your
timing light offset DIAL on rear of timing light might be set for 10 degrees advanced.
I tried to post photo but can not make it work.

Frank, I really need help on your explanation. For me this would be timing and electrical for dummies 101.
When at idle at 400 and the lever is up, the timing gun shows 10 degrees advanced. At 1000 rpm or 2000 rpm the gun still shows 10 degrees advanced if i do not touch the lever. If i move the lever all the way down to my stop i get 25 degrees.
So, my question-issue-is: Shouldn't the gun be reading zero at idle with the lever up, instead of 10 degrees advanced? Especially with the pin just inserted at TDC and it is at zero..
This is the gauge that i am using.
