32 at cranking? That don't sound right. That's full advance. 0 plus 2 would sound more like it.

Seloc manual: Maximum timing static = 32 BTDC

disconnect and ground all your plug wires (must ground them to the block or you can ruin electrical components),

disconnect the neutral switch, I just wrap a piece of wire around it to depress the switch (microswitch under the throttle tower),

connect timing light to #1 cylinder,

Advance to WOT,

have someone turn the key so the starter spins the motor and check the timing,

set to 2 degrees less and it should be right on when it is actually running.
