What alexiskai said... Of course we all know that once the rubbing block wears, unless you readjust the point gap to compensate, the timing is going to change so where the wrench points is going to be off anyway.

I put modern points in my 28 and I just worked on another car that had the same. The timing wrench as you have shown does not end up where Nu-Rex intended. It actually ends up in exactly the same spot as yours, on both cars.
