Well, funny thing is I tried setting the timing to 16 degrees, but the car just wont stay at 16 degrees!

I would set the distributor to 16 degrees with my light, tighten the hold down clamp, recheck and it would be at 16. I would drive it around, come back, check it and it would be back at 10. I set it again, reclamped, drove around and when I looked, it was back at 10!

The car is possessed!

I never knew these mechanical distributors were so stubborn.

I've always run 87 and never had any pinging at all no matter how hard I pushed it.
