<VV>Timing # for 110 on junque gas

[N. Joseph Potts]

Ken, you're in an area that we US taxpayers associate with the ethanol
subsidy. I suppose that means for you, if not for some of the rest of us,
that "gas" in your area contains some percentage of alcohol.
     Am I figuring right? Do you think this affects the data you report in
your message?
     Auto fuel has long been differentiated by geographical area and season
(by the same refiner) even before federal regulation turned such variations
into an incomprehensible goat's nest, but if you can differentiate the
situation now where you are from whatever we might suppose the norm of
situations to be in all the other places the rest of us are in, it might
help us evaluate your report a bit.
     As Esso used to say, Have You Got a Bureaucrat in Your Tank?

Hi Y'all, here is where I have to set my stocker 110 late model manual, 3.55
rear end, with 120K miles on it to run junque ( 87 octane/ ) fuel , this
gets just a little audible ping under worst conditions., starting is fine &
26 mpg. about 90 mph it flattens out tho (g).
8 degrees initial, around 20 degrees total centrifugal ( not including
vacuum...   )
built up total advance stop a little to get 20 degrees total, but otherwise
no trick springs or cannister.
Just some trivia to report from last tuneup.  ken campbell, retarded in
Iowa.
