How much is computer supposed to advance timing
I have a 87 TA with a 305 TPI.
I set my base timing at about 6 deg with the brown wire disconnected then disconnected the battery to reset the computer. When I hook up the brown wire again the timing seems very far advanced. I would guess somewhere around 20 deg. Nowhere near the timing marks on the crank pulley.
Is this normal? I was having a rough start and less power so thought timing might be the issue. Now I'm wondering if its the computer screwing things up.

Thanks!
Any ideas on rough start. (have to try 2-3 times then it stumbles a bit before firing)
Set timing, changed plugs and it has a new MAS. Only has problem when cold.
