    I had TunerStudio generate the table for me (paid version though). What it came up with seems pretty good only I had to adjust what it was at the 700rpm range/idle. You might look into doing the same.

    Tuner Studio does generation of the VE table, not the spark advance. They have on-line advice on how to start a base line though.

    Also there should not be a difference between ignition tables on a manual vs an automatic transmission vehicle.

    The following link explains the basic theory behind creating a base-line spark advance table; and with some inputs from the user can generate one for you. Spark advance isn't a dark shrouded mystery.

    The baseline it can create for you, if you enter the DeLorean engine properties correctly, will come eerily close to match the description of the spark advance curve found in the workshop manual.

    Maybe I'm using a different version, but once I entered all my engine info along with where my timing would be at idle, TS had generated a usable ignition table for me when I opened the table window.
