[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 16114, member: 485"] Hello Tim, What have you done !! I thought I was pushing my luck at 34, I keep looking at my pipes to see if they discolour, I am still running in so it's early days. back in the 70s my special ran 26 BTDC on 12 1/2 to one pistons on the road with 5 star petrol !! Nobody believed me. Last year just befor going to the west bay meet, I found the springs had broken in the D distributer, It was kicking back on starting, they are 35 years old!!, So I know I am a bad man but I just turned the dist' back a bit and off I went, On the way a Buel showed me how well it went, 2 miles down the road guess who was up his chuff. My L'ning is on Rita same as you, Dare I put it back to 28?? I am getting a bit old to play, But I might have a go !. Nice to hear from you, All The Best Bill. [/QUOTE]
