Would the octane selector be used in the road test? Or is it too limited in rotation? My octane selector adjusts +- 10 degrees. Once you get the timing set "on the ball" with the octane selector set at zero, tThe octane selector works great for this because you can make the adjustment without using a timing light. And you can put it back where it came from if you don't like it. That's how I did mine.
