Thanks for elaborating. I am surprised that their limiter plate has a large center hole, which seems like could allow it to flop around a bit.

I have seen this chart posted in several threads - don't know how accurate it is:

Modifying advance slots
Dist degrees / slot size
6.............. .340
7.............. .355
8.............. .375
9.............. .390
10............ .405
11.5 ......... .420
12............. .435
13............. .445
14............. .460
15............. .475
16............. .490
17............. .505
18............. .520
