That doesn’t tell you your tab is accurate to tdc #1. You need to use a piston stop to verify it.
If you likely haven’t adjusted the mechanical then your 12 initial with 30 all in suggests your initial is incorrect. Most distributors run near 24 degrees in mechanical.
Depending on what rpm you set your timing at then you might have an actual 2 degrees initial or less.
You didn’tsay What rpm you set initial at.
BTW the crap gas we have now needs way more timing to burn right.
