Default S2 timing - distributor fully adjusted and just 9 degree

Hi,

I've just been looking at my mates s2 as its been running abit rough. Anyways attempted to set the timing on 12 degree but it was impossible so i looked at the belt timing and noitced it was one tooth out. Anyways set this up and had a second attempt much better this time & manage 9 degree with the vac off.

However, the distributor is fully adjusted with no more adjustment left?

Could this be a faulty distributor?
As it does look like someone has put a recon item on at some stage.

Once I set the CO up its running much better but obviously could do with more ign timing.

Thanks in advance
Bobby
