The sticker on the hood of my Car says 6deg (DR) for an auto Transmission and 6Deg (N) for a manual.

I assume this means that when its in drive which could be interesting to setup...

6 degrees before top dead centre.

Make sure you set it with the ecu ignition advance wire unplugged.

iirc it's the brown one up in the loom at the back on the passenger side...

cheers Andy id did disconnect the advance wire, do you need to bypass the ecu ie short terminals A/B on the ecu block as well?

and should it be in park or drive


its a lot better than it was coz it was way off


edit

found the sticker

cant do it in drive though surely coz i might run myself over that must mean something else Ryan

No need to do both as it has the same effect.  Personally I just unplug the wire, with no connection the ecu can't possibly interfere.

and should it be in park or drive


I stand to be corrected but...
I don't see why it should matter as again the ecu is disconnected so it isn't adjusting the timing and as long as the idle speed is the same in drive and park you're still setting the base timing to be 6 deg btdc at idle.  As you would clearly have to set it in neutral on a manual i fail to see why you shouldn't be doing it in neutral in an auto...

Is there a vaccum advance on these 'modern' things?

That could explain the drive/neutral question.
