That depends on how much advance is available.

10 degrees base if you have 25 degrees of advance. 14 base if 21 of advance. I'm not sure of the Distributer you have but you can adjust the advance and how quickly it advances on every MSD I have had. Of course you can lock it out at 32 to 36 depending on what the engine likes best.
