Trying to come up with a simple way to know how many degrees I've moved distributor vs. using timing light every time.

I currently mark the distributor and the block where I know, at a glance, where 36° total is for me.

Since I started playing with nitrous, I retard different amounts for different tuneups.

I thought about using the base of a torque angle gauge or degree wheel and some way mounting it to flat base of the distributor. I googled 360° 2.25" angle gauge and didn't come up with much.

Yes, I know there are MSD controllers that allow you to retard/advace but was trying to keep it old school.

Any ideas?
