They don't want you putting too much timing in it causing warranty issues.
And it also likely says somewhere in the paperwork not to run more than 10 degrees initial.

Is that a fact? Geezer, Geezer, Geezer. You need to get out more, buddy!
Here's the Instructions for start up on my crate motor:
Start the engine and adjust the initial timing. Set the ignition timing to 15° before top dead center (BTDC) and
the engine idle to 950 RPM (ZZ572/620) or 1200 RPM (ZZ572/720R) with a timing light and the vacuum disconnected
and plugged. Rotate the distributor counterclockwise to advance the timing. Rotate the distributor
clockwise to retard the timing.
Leave the vacuum advance disconnected
Here's a photo of that motor taken when I unwrapped it in the shipping crate. Unless I'm completely delusional that looks suspiciously like a distributor with 8 plug wires all neatly connected and loomed. But , of course I could be just dreaming and none of that stuff actually arrived in my Garage!
Isn't that a lovely sight? It looks even better with a truck wrapped around it!
