Static is about 1 1/4 inch on the flywheel. With a coil engine I tend to just get the engine running and then swing the (auto advance) distributor about in a trial and error manner with the engine running until it runs well. Then I tend to forget to fully tighten the clamp nut - this has led to some very embarrassing hillclimb times as the engine retards itself and the car runs progressively slower until it's very hot and very slow at the top!
