Hi all, can't find this info anywhere. Does anyone know what the correct ignition timing setting is for an unmodified 1990 Cooper?

 

Thanks in advance (pun intended).

What's the distributor number as well as the start of the engine number?

 

Note that you'll need to verify that the distributor is advancing at the correct time. Even when relatively new this needed to be checked but many people ignore it.

I have posted the manual with the info in the manuals thread. @1500rpm 5 +/- 1 degrees
Cooper models with catalytic converter like RSP or mainstream cooper.
