Default Timing an 87

Does anyone know what my timing should read at idle on the 87s4?? I want to put the strobe on it but need a spec to start with so I am not guessing. I know it's not adjustable, but curious to check. Any quick checks for the hall sender as well?
Thanks,
Kevin

It's 10 +/-2 degrees BTDC at idle. If the Hall sensor is bad it will be retarded 6 degrees, but only on moderate load/WOT. So, instead of 32 +/- 4 degrees above 3k RPM, you would see 26 or so.
