Does anyone know what the Puma crank/trigger angle is?

Referring to the 36-1 trigger on the back of the flywheel...
The trigger angle can be found by placing the engine at TDC, then calculating how far it must be rotated until the first tooth after the gap reaches the sensor.

I'm not going to be able to investigate this on my car for a while so wondering if anyone else knows...?
 
it will probably trigger on the leading edge. Don't forget when the engine is running , looking at the flywheel that will be turning anti clockwise. Most engines fire the spark between 5 and 10 degrees before top dead centre , however the trigger point may also be simply tdc. So place a screw driver down no1 cylinder or insert your crank locking tool to establish that.
