RE: [T3] Tune Up & Brakes


	JMac=> pinging at 70mph. This is with the car at TDC.  

	Timed right, does it ping at 45 while still mellow, 
	or only when it's hot?

	<<<If hot, it will ping if I hit the accelerator to get it up to
speed (not too badly), but it won't ping at cruising speed below about 62.
If cold, she's a tigress.  Whomps around like a new car.  A whole lot of
fun, until she warms up.


	Haveu¯5ted the advance with a timing light?


	<<<OK, I'm dumb.  How is this accomplished?  One can actually
measure mechanical advance with a timing light?  -- as the vacuum is
disconnected to set the timing...
