I set it to the notch, then you have more than enough adjustment either way. Bearing in mind that the more you advance it (up to a point) the faster the engine runs and this creates the mechanical advance internally to the distrubutor, so at the limit of movement, it's coughing away at some 18 degrees. Just been setting ours up in the last couple of hours and it runs sweetly at 0 but of course no power. It's running best at 9-10 degrees but we've dropped in a different dizzy and changed the vac advance. It started with very little trouble, though.... :-( It DID need 12v across the coil but it's back on the resistors now and running fine.
