The timing is not adjustable on that engine. Turning the distributor does not change it.
On engines that have timing adjustments you will need a timing light to check ignition timing. A scanner might give you a timing advance PID, but that number would most likely be additional timing advance, and not actual timing advance."You don't build a reputation on what you're going to do"

I believe it's not adjustable if you have never moved the distributor. In my case I took it out and need to put it back in the same spot at 0 degrees and need to use the scanner to do thisComment

Hmmm . . . the Ethos might have the cmp/ckp difference PID, but I seriously doubt it has the "Set Sync" option. That would be more of a Bi-directional control, which the Ethos doesn't support.
By the way, Joe is correct, the distributor adjustment has nothing to do with ignition timing, only fuel synchronization.Comment
