Default How to adjust Jaguar XJS 3.6 Inline 6 Ignition Timing?

Hello everyone, as i suggest at thread i am dealing with a problem with my car over 1 year. Last year we restorated the entire engine but due to mechanists lack of knowledge about the car in my country they just set up wrong ignition timing and im looking for correct settings to make it right. Thank you for answers

I think I don't understand your question. Is the distributor out of the motor?
