I had calculated that the A/R range would be around 24°, but checking it by using a lamp on the points and looking at the flywheel shows I have a range of about  18°.
I have concluded that trial and error is the best bet and now have the static timing set with the timing mark opposite the oil gauge take off (about 18°BTDC), with the A/R lever at its mid point (I'm the only driver).
Make sure that advancing the lever turns the distributor anti-clockwise. It's easy to get the linkage arse about face.
Anti clockwise viewed from above?.....

Yes.
