MG MGB Technical - Ignition timing

Hi.

I'm the owner of a '73 BGT and I've recently rebuilt the engine. In the process I fitted a 270 Piper Camshaft, K&N filters and new (bigger) carb needles.

What's the best ignition timing setting in degrees?

Thanks a lot!

Valter.

Start with a dynamic timing of about 20 degrees at 900rpms. Adjust accordingly from there until it runs best.
