How about watching the ignition timeing?  Shouldn't be difficult to rig up a 
system that:  

Takes a signal from a add on magnetic sensor placed at TDC ( or some known 
offset)

Records RPM

And watches when the coil is fired.


Run the above information through a algorithm that takes pulse delay between 
the add on mag sensor and coil fireing, then factors in RPM ( really degrees 
per second) to give spark advance.  

Some '80s engines  had a probe mount on the front cover  (GM) or had a pipe 
plug in the block and a notch on the crank ( Ford 1.6 Escort ,2.3 Mustang) to 
set timeing at the factory.
