timing question

[gripper]

hi all,
with my MGC the timing by the book is 20 degrees btdc but with todays petrol they advise 14 degrees. so the 3500 v8 says 6 degrees i believe. what do you guys think they run their best at. im putting points back as elec ign is playing havoc with my rev counter.

You might want to post this in the V8 section. It’ll get more exposure.
