Re: [DML] BAE Turbo and distributor timing

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Two thoughts on this:  I, like Bruce Benson, had two
of the early versions of the J&S knock sensor (infact,
I had the very first one desined for the PRV odd-fire
engine).  My experience with them was the same as
Bruce's.  I finally yanked them.

Last year I found that I "ran out of power" at higher
rpms.  A new coil (Bosch) fixed that.
