I think his issue is that the distributor won't physically spin that far. Just unhook and plug some stuff if you have to.
MSD does make a semi-common spin off of there 6AL/6AL2 boxes that are tuned using a laptop. For the amount of features it has I'd consider the $360 price tag pretty good.

And I understand what he was saying with his advanced hitting the brakes/firewall. Correct me if I'm wrong, as long as you are at TDC you can seat the distributor any which way that you want regardless of where it points. You can even go as far as to switch the position of the #1 terminal on the cap as long as your rotor is pointed to that terminal.

He can go back to TDC, spin the distributor a bit and reseat it so it clears whatever he is hitting. It's just good measurement to point at #1 during TDC so you have an idea of when you are at TDC easier but isn't mandatory.
