Ok so I did this. The only difference with the engine off the stand is that I have to plug the cigar (return) hose and the injector return hose so the pressure does not escape from them.

Using the drip method, the beginning of delivery (1 sec drop) is definitely between 20 and 21 BTDC... The FSM says should be 23-25. Now, the question is, if the chain skipped one tooth on the timing device, what would the discrepancy be???
