DC3 Timing specs

I have a 51 DC3. On the tuneup specs on this site, it says that the spark occurs at "D". What does this mean. I know that there is a mark on the flywheel which you can use for static timing the magneto. I have a distributor on mine.

When I timed it some time back, I installed a pointer near the crankshaft pulley. I determined where TDC on #1 cylinder was. I then made a mark on the pulley that lined up with the pointer. I used a timing light to set timing at TDC at idle. I know that timing advances with the centrifugal advance at higher speeds. Is this correct, or should there be some advance at idle. By the way it starts and runs fine, but I feel there is always room for improvement. Is there a better way, or should I be doing different?

Sounds like you must have the timing pretty close to being correct. Hook some plows or something to it and adjust it a little under load.
