I posted this question to the MG list and didn't get much of a response,
perhaps someone here could clear this question up for me:

someone else wrote:

I've never heard this one before, which leads me to ask: Just what are
Midget owners with stock 1275s setting their stroboscopic timing to?
My bentley book says 13 degrees BTDC at 1000 rpm with the vacume line
disconnected.

In light of the above statement should the timing now be set to 18 deg BTDC?

If anyone could clear my confusion I'd greatly appreciate it.

TIA,
