I have found over the years that the MG Ts did not have enough spark advance
for proper performance. The TC/TDs had only 15 degrees at the dist. and the TF
had 13 degrees. For the best performance 17 degrees is desirable and a 17
degree plate could be purchased when the cars were new. If a timing light is
used at idle the advance will be about 6 degrees which gives better
performance.
