MG MGA - Dizzy adjustment

How many clicks is it on the A/R knob to get 1 crank degree?
Art Pearse

Hi Art, I think it's 11, but not so sure. But I'm sure someone will tell us exactly.

Good analysis Barney. In the past, however, I have simply relied on the factory workshop manual for this information. "Aproximately 55 clicks of the screw will move the vacuum control barrel one graduation on the scale and each graduation is equal to approximately 5 deg of movement on the moving plate."

So Les, 11 clicks per dizzy degree, or 5.5 clicks per crank degree?

Les, I have the WSM, but cannot find the comment you quote. Which section is it in?
