Early a65ignition fully advanced is 0.357" before tdc or 3 7 ° according to bsa manual see photo, (if it loads properly) normally I set engine to correct angle place advance /retard in taper, fit contact breaker points with screws in centre of slot, then using a bolt screwed into the end of the advance/retard unit rotate it in the correct direction (with the unit fully advanced ) which is quite fiddly till the point start to open, either use a fag paper , a meter, or test light to do this. Then using the bolt in the advance unit push it to hold the unit on its taper and also hold it without allowing the unit to move then unscrew the bolt. Once this is done screw in the centre bolt. Finally check that everything is right, if you are like me then you will find something is off slightly so reset crank position and this time adjust by turning the points backplate to correct. Forgot to say before setting timing assemble it all dont bother about timing at this stage and set points gaps. Then take it apart and sstart to set timing
