All good advice from Lynn on finding TDC and other timing points.
Another thing to consider is that the "static timing" on the EC2 (and
possibly others) has nothing to do with the time that the spark occurs on a
running engine. It is just a reference point for the computer which uses a
bunch of factors to determine when to make the spark. The 2 pointed
trigger (on 2nd gen engines) should line up with the sensor when the crank is at
35 deg BTDC on Rotor 1 for EC2 controllers.
I don't know what other controllers require.

Correction:
For example, let us say that you want 25 degrees of total advance.
Divide 25 degrees by 3.27 to get 7.64 teeth.
Sorry.
