Advance mech can have the "cam" fitted the opposite way to how it should be 180 degree out, that gives this arrangement.
Just whip the points plate off, then switch the cam in it's location with the swing weight levers (obviously you need to take off a+r untit) shouldn't take long.

The points should be closed on approach to F mark and should open exactly on the mark. Move the backplate until it is perfect, then adjust the 3/4 side by moving its own adjusting plate without moving main backing plate.

Yep, Mick's right, I was reading it the other way :-[

Cheers,.that makes more sense! I had it backwards.
But I have given it a good many tries and I just can't nail it. Set at 0.3mm and 0.4mm and just can't get the adjustment required. Not sure it's the spark advancer or I'm just fundamentally missing something. Videos show this process to be fairly easy.

It's 2 and 3 Mick not 3 and 4.
