I keep forgetting that this vehicle was built 68 years ago. Specifications like total advance were not in the origional equasion. Hell they didn't even have a Sun distributor machine untill the early 60's. I guess I'll just have to monkey around with the timing untill I get best performance and no ping. I still don't understand the (octane) adjustment that is calibrated on the base of the distributor. I'll bet it was so you could run the engine and have a referance point to make fine adjustments to the timing as needed.

I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything! "Bart Simpson"
