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 bently 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?
or is the plus in the other direction, 8deg BTDC?

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

TIA,
