16 is correct, run 18 if you are n/a for a little more in power.
You adust it by getting a timing light.

stock is 16 deg. +- 2 deg. You need a timing light to check it and adjust the distributor until the red light lines up with the arrow.

Re: (Jaydeep)
Mine is 16 BTDC. So is it right? or it should be 12 BTDC?
My car is running sluggish. If it is 12 BTDC then thats the reason. I don't have manual so can you guys confirm it?

advance the dizzy and it might help. Use to have idle problems with my z6 when i had it. I believed it was at 16btdc stock but i set it at 18btdc for a little retard power. It idles funny cause your bottom end is advance and your tdc is retarded plus your dizzy might be center. play with the dizzy
