Offical Jaguar data for UK spec HE:
Static timing just for the purpose of starting the engine: 4° before TDC
Then, disconnect vac pipe from capsule and set to 18° before TDC while engine running at 3000 RPM!
Grant has a really good paper about how to drive time the ignition, which is far safer and far easier than being underneath the thing with a strobe light while it is doing 3000 RPM while someone else fiddle with the dizzy. I take the liberty of attaching it without his OK. Basically you set the static and advance the timing until it runs and does not pink.
