I have mine set at 12 degrees, might bump it to 14 to see if I notice any change. What are you all running at ? Might add I do have the computer up and running in mine.

...Wow.
That last post lists ZN1 in the sig line. Not too many of them around. A friend mine who's ex-GM was the development engineer for that option.
I'm not an expert on the 81 engine controls but my guess... just adding 8 deg more initial timing doesn't end up with 8 more degress total advance.
This is incorrect, the '81 CCC is a very simple system. It advances timing based on engine RPM and load (vacuum sensor) from the base setting.
Also, a dial back light makes things simpler and allows you to check timing throughout the rpm range, but setting base timing with a standard light is no problem.

I haven't talked to him about the trailer package in many years but I remember he said that, at the time, the full-time development staff consisted of he and McLellan and he did most of the work on that option. As I recall, he said it was a combination of cooling, suspension and wiring enhancements. It's always been interesting to me how many cars were ordered with it and that it lasted for five model years.DO you know what sort of background your friend can tell us about the ZN1
