If I set my motor at 16* BTDC and then rotate the adjustable rotor CLOCKWISE another 16* (which is actually 32* due to the cam turning twice the crank) with the adjustable rotor that puts me at 16* + 32* = 48* of advance.
It's not clear to me from this statement where the spark is actually TRIGGERING. The trigger must be "at least" what you expect to see absolute full advance (IE what would be mechanical + vacuum if it was not EFI) Because the electronics can only SUBTRACT from that.
The rotor, then, must be somehow phased so that it is somewhere in the middle of the "advance" curve range when it's centered on the no1 tower contact.
What you described with the dist. reluctor sounds like it is WAY retarded
