Forget static timing other than to get the car started initially, for that TDC fully retarded will get it running, you then need to fine tune it with the engine running. If you do not have the ear and feel then use a strobe, you should be aiming for 26 to 28 degrees at around 3000rpm, every car will vary slightly, my Nippy with unmodified Speedy type engine reforms best around the latter figure but I do fine tune by ear and stopwatch. BTW 28 degrees is about 6 teeth on the flywheel
