Ken,
Can't say for certain about a 1300, but for a UK 1500 engine with twin SUs
and no emissions control gubbbins, the standard setting is 10deg BTDC.
My approach would be to get the vernier adjustment more or less in the
middle, allowing you to adjust either way. Use the normal method of
twisting the distributor around to get the timing approximately right, then
tighten the dizzy down and use the vernier to get the adjustment just right.
Dynamic timing should be done at low revs and with the vacuum advance
disconnected.
Personally, if I had a vernier adjustment, I would then continue to fiddle
for the next week or so of driving, advancing by a few clicks before each
drive, until I got the first hints of pinking under low speed/full throttle
conditions, then back off a little, so I get the most advanced setting I can
get away with. Whether you do this or stick close to the standard setting
is up to you!
