I know what you mean...I have my wife hold down the gas to give me the tach reading of 2K steady. I put my timing light on #1 plug nearest the firewall and shine it on the top opening in the plastic clutch cover. The line to the distributor is pulled off and plugged with the end of a pencil.
All three 10MM distributor bolts are loose....when I feel my wife has a steady speed I rotate the distributor to give me the 20 degrees and lock it down. The idea of doing at 2k rpm, I think, is to give the advance a midpoint adjustment setting about which the rpm is normally operated. It gives a better control. I do not know what it should be at warmed idle. I might be able to take a look this weekend for you...
