Brad,
Set your timing to TDC, with the manual advance run all the way in. Then
back it out 13 clicks. This should have the timing dead on.
Each click of the advance is 1/4 of a degree. My old Clymers manual is more
help than the Haynes. But I always use both.

Subject: Spitfire Ignition Timing ???
I'm trying to set the timing on my Mk1 Spitfire and can seem to
decifer the pointer on the timing chain cover. How do you know where
4 or 5 degrees BTC is ?? The haynes manual is useless and so is
cylmers. Can anyone help me out on this?
TIA
