Default g5x3 install ?

Mine is on a 114LSA. When it is installed what should it have been? Straight up or with any advance? Just checking to make sure.

STRAIGHT UP, dot to dot, NO advance, you don't have a ton of room to work with in regards to PTV clearance, making sure it's dot to dot is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!!
