Ignition advance measurement
#2
Hi Peter, as standard it's 8 degrees (3 degrees on early ones) i.e. 16 (or 6) degrees at the flywheel.
For an Austin Seven DK4A, that is - there are many other variants and many of those have found their way onto Sevens.

You may find it stamped on the little scale attached to the side of the distributor body if it is still there; or on the underside of the 'action plate'. More than likely said plate has worn a little and the advance has correspondingly increased.
