It means "8 degrees is the ideal setting, but anywhere between 6 and 8 is acceptable."
Suck-eggs advice: a dob of something white on the pointer and rubbed into the 8-degree mark make the job much easier.

Mini Mad

I just got my Mini running after a rebuild and a long time doing nothing.
I want to set the timing more precisely now with my Timing Gun
My Mini is a 998 standard year 1989
the Ignition Timing in the Haynes Manual page 5B 2 says
Mini saloon and variants, 998 cc 1982-on
1989-on low compression 8deg +0deg -2deg BTDC at 1500rpm
What does that mean?
All other sections give just 1 value which is what I was looking for
