<VV> Re: forgot to set timing

[Louis C. Armer, Jr.]

Hey Anil, Scott Trunkhill and I replaced the ignition on the WTBRT
ole # 112 yesterday. We closely followed the instructions provided
with the Igniter II and the matching coil. The car runs perfectly and
starts immediately. We also replaced spark plugs with Bosch copper
tips W8ac gapped at 35 thousandths. We did not touch the timing.
