    A story you won't believe

    Yes. You'll probably hear of him found dead some where.;) Good ending though. L-81 ain't the best engine out there.:)

    Engine Timing

    Close. When the system fails, the system goes into "open" loop. And yes, it runs rich. It is designed to default to a setting drivable to the dealership. When the system "fails", the check engine light comes on, and sets a memory code. Check your lamp. Does it come on when starting up?

    Base Timing/Centrifigal Advance w/Pertronix Ignitor II
