I am getting good odds to call but is this the correct play?
Typically I am pretty tight in the first three levels and I really don't want to be all in here at this point in the tournament but.....

You have 9 outs for the flush draw and 4 outs for the inside straight. Hitting a 13 outer when seeing both the turn and river is 1.1 to 1. You have to call 755 to win 2320. So the odds are there to make the call. The only problem I see is drawing to flush and straight that is not the nuts. I usually let these big draws go. I know I can outplay the field and dont need to hit these draws to win an SnG.

Almost. He has 12 outs. 9 for the flush, 4 for the inside straight, minus 1 since the J /images/graemlins/spade.gif was already counted in the flush outs. That's 1.2:1

Also, he's not winning 2320 by calling 755. He's winning 1780 by calling 755. MP1 pushed in for more chips than Hero had, by 540 chips. If Hero calls, he's getting 1025:755 pot odds (1780-755:755), or about 1.36:1.

Thats the other reason I dont go for big draws. My calculations are always wrong.

Well, he still had the odds to call /images/graemlins/smile.gif It was just a little tighter than it might have seemed.
