Good point,

I would like to add that on the static timing if you use the volt/ohm meter on the Ohms X 1000 scale IGNITION key off, instead of a 12 v light you can get the static timing even closer.

To test this for yourself: use your 12v timing light.
Then use the Ohms X 1000 Resistance method.
Also your brand new points contacts will not just sit on the timing
mark and sizzle until you shut the key off.

You will see a different and better result.
The light bulb itself has resistance and that will make the timing a little late.
