I never lock them out, not even drag boats. It must crank at the holding rope and 32 degrees is too much. With a mag I use a buzz box, with a dist. I use a piece of foil/brass tubing on the cap post. (#1) If you are really "locked out" turn the crank to your setting (32/30/28) and have a piece of foil/brass tubing on the cap post. Put a temporary power source to the coil post and turn the dist. until you get your "test light" to come on. This will set you within 6 degrees of your desired setting. Once the motor is running, you can make the correct setting. DON'T EVER HAVE THE THROTTLE PLATES OPEN WHEN STARTING A BLOWN MOTOR!!! Put fuel in the intake and crank the motor, throttles closed. It will run even with the timing off by 15 degrees, just not too well. I feel "locked timing" is NOT the answer for blown motors, it's just an excuse for not knowing what's going on.
