I recently got a copy of the MG tips book (vol 1). One of the tips I
read had to do with setting the points gap and timing.
The point made was that unless the gap is properly set, the timing can
only be "spot on" for the left (#2) cylinder, and I think this makes
sense. The suggested approach was to check the timing on both cylinders
and to re-adjust the points gap as necessary to achieve proper timing on
both cylinders.
This seems to be the most accurate way to do a tune up but maybe beyond
what is really necessary.
