What controls distributor advance on a 1987 Chevy 305 TBI engine?
Distributor Advance is the wrong term; the Distributor Advance system implies actually moving the timing components of the distributor to control timing of spark in the engine (A Vacuum Advance, is an example of this). Modern controls use computer spark mapping, through learned routines or factory set timing models to control the spark based on these tables, through the computer. In all essence it is the computer that controls all spark functions.

Timing for a Chevy 350 1988 scottsdale 2500 pickup?
0 degrees with timing connector unplugged which can be located under the glove box taped to main harness or under hood at firewall behind plastic cover at passenger side Assuming your question is 'how to adjust the timing'... on most older cars with a distributor it the timing can be adjusted by turning the distributor itself. Even just turning the distributor a little at a time with the engine idling you can get it good enough by ear. Then give it a test drive. It the car sounds fine but is sluggish accelerating advance the timing (by twisting distributor) in the direction that speed the idle. hopefully that helps :)
