The guy who is putting all this stuff in is also setting up my engine. I figured I'd leave it to the professionals. This guy is a fairly popular guy and does most old cars and I've heard only good things about him so I guess I will have to see how it goes. Thanks, §am.

Chris,
I think Car and Driver (or Road and Track) did some dyno testing on some knock sensor equiped cars, including the Mustang, and premium gasoline was able to get about 2-3 hp. Like you said, there probably isn't any ECM that will just keep pushing up timing. Besides, only some much timing can be added that will benefit power no matter what the octane rating. I'm sure they probably set the upper limit of timing to what is optimal for a given engine using the best available pump fuel. Our engines run best with 34 to 36 degrees of total timing so they would probably cap it at 36 if we had knock sensors, for example.

BTW, what really kills me are these ads I see for Joe Blow's service station offering an injector cleaning for $29.95. Please. Take care, ~Chris

Do whatever your engine builder wants, but I wouldn't use a Mallory dual point if it was given to me. Take care, ~Chris

My car runs best with nonoxygenated 92 octane.

I prefer MSD distributors over other aftermarket choices, but often the factory units are fine. Actually, my top choice for a distributor would be a DON ZIG Magneto, but you can't afford one. Take care, ~Chris
