Oh! I just got an idea for a temporary solution. Assuming cold timing advance is working, I can jumper the terminals so its always on. It’s not a long term fix, but it might help until I can get it timed properly. Thoughts?

While I respect that you are worried to try it yourself, you really should give it a shot. Mark where the IP is in relation to the flange, loosen the three bolts holding it on, and turn it 1/16 of an inch towards the passenger side. You won't destroy it if you do it with the ENGINE OFF. You don't need a turnbuckle like the guy in the video, but it'll help.
The shiny spot is where you want to mark those two mating surfaces. Those two nuts to the right of it are two of the three you need to loosen to get it to move.

It only advances it an average of two degrees throughout the curve, it’s fine to use when running, but only have it energized when fuel is flowing, otherwise it will get hot

Advance piston.
Jump power straight to the timing advance from the battery.
I just explained not to do this, if the solenoid is energized all the time it will heat up and can be a fire hazard when the engine is left of for a period of time. Make sure you use a 12v source that is only energized when the key is on. You can use the glowplug controller ignition source or tap into the other wire on the ipAdvance piston.

Right. That's why you disconnect it after testing.I just explained not to do this, if the solenoid is energized all the time it will heat up and can be a fire hazard when the engine is left of for a period of time.
