<x-charset iso-8859-1>FI Brain, unknown I haven't checked out any part numbers on it yet. The
Dist, has a #265 vac adv arm on it, I had planned on taking the dist out
last weekend when I did all the other maintenance, but spaced it. So
consequently I don't know the dist pn either. I do however know that if I
were to attempt to set the timing to 0 tdc it wont work. I was wondering
about where to set the timing last weekend, so I checked out what 0 tdc
would be like. I never made it there, it started running extremely poor as I
headed toward 0.
