It should be no more than 12 degrees advanced especially if you are running a compression ratio over 10:1 on your engine. Oh and one of your other vids showed a backfire through the carb which is caused by the wrong timing setting.
Good Luck!!

idle without vacuum is 18 and 35 at 3000 rpm.. the older videos are from 2009, i fixed those problems.....i hope...
