It's my understanding that 13 degrees is exactly where the timing should be set to run properly. I do want to add that I felt only the Bosch Coils were a good fit for the DeLorean. A friend here tried out the MSD Blaster Coil and his car broke down on him and would not start until we put the stock coil back on. Tried it on my old car and it fired so we never did determine the anomaly but his car did not like the MSD Coil. I've heard similar stories about the "Accel" brand coils. I used Herveys Bosch "Super Coil" and I really liked that one. I believe that's the one coil he sells where you need the upgraded resistor. Looks nice too.
