Just for Kix I would set it where it idles fastest and see where it lands.
I got rid of my last B16B back in late 1970 so it is hard to remember but I DO know
that it wants more advance than most English cars of the era. I remember cooking an
exhaust manifold in my first 544 at 10°BTDC (Cherry red).
The old "advance it till it kicks back or knocks and then back off some" rule might apply.
If I find my old Clymer book I'll post again.
