UK Mk3 1972 ignition timing

Hi Guys,  
I am trying to tune my GT6 and want to start with the ignition timing.   What is the stroboscopic setting. I cannot find my manual but have read online that 10 BTDC static and 4 ATDC strobe.
Is that correct?  I have never set a car to ATDC with a strobe

I'd tend to set it by ear. Rotate the dizzy until it seems to idle right. Take it for a run , if it pinks, retard it slightly until it doesn't. If it doesn't advance it a bit. Trial and error. use highest octane rating you can get.  >

Abboracing,
ATDC timing is for emissions and only with vacuum retard connected. Tony's advice is good.
