The scale is only meant for use at idle. At 800rpm ish you should set 
the timing to 13degrees (the notch on the left). When you rev the 
engine, the bob-weights advance the timing and you will see it move off 
the scale..

If you have removed the cat, you may find this. Alternatively, you may 
have your vac advance plumbed up wrong. Look at the vac diagram. You can 
check the vac advance shutoff solenoid is working by turning the 
ignition on, but not starting the engine. Put your hand on the solenoid 
and lift the throttle off the idlespeed control microswitch. You should 
feel the solenoid click.

My PRV guy swears by the original Bougicold leads that are still 
available from all the vendors - they're also pretty and red :-) We get 
them in new from Renault in black. They are still manufactured.
