The reason for this advancement in timing lights is mainly for checking total advance, also when fine tuning when you want to go up or down 1or2 degrees

I JUST USED MY DIAL BACK LIGHT ON MY 1974 FORD PINTO STATION WAGON YESTERDAY.THIS WAS LAST YEAR FORD USED POINT IGNITION. YOU CAN ALSO USE IT TO CHECK THE TOTAL ADVANCE IF YOU REV THE ENGINE. EXAMPLE IS IF YOU WANT 34 DEGREES TOTAL, YOU TURN THE DIAL TO 34, REV THE ENGINE UNTIL ALL ADVANCE IS IN. THEN 0 MARK SHOULD LINE UP . I AM FROM THE OLD TIME BEFORE THE DIAL BACK LIGHT. IN THE DAY WE HAD A SIMPLE LIGHT WITH ONLY TWO WIRES. ONE PLUGGED ON DIRECTLY ON THE NUMBER 1 SPARK PLUG AND THE OTHER WIRE PLUGGED INTO THE SPARK PLUG WIRE. THAT WAS THE HIGH TECH IN THE DAY. IN NEWEST CARS ALMOST EVERYTHING IS COMPUTERIZED, MOST HAVE NO DISTRIBUTOR SO THERE IS VERY LITTLE USE OR NEED FOR A TIMING LIGHT. I STILL USE MINE ON MY 1986 FORD MUSTANG SVO, WHICH STILL HAS A DISTRIBUTOR. YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG THE SPOUT CONNECTOR WHEN SETTING THE STATIC TIMING ON THIS CAR WHENEVER I INSTALL A NEW TIMING BELT I RECHECK TIMING
