Well, the Haynes manual agrees with 2 degrees static BTDC and 6 degrees
dynamic BTDC. (you said static was BTDC and dynamic ATDC).
This has the distinct advantage of both making sense and running OK.
Anyway, the silly thing is running fine now. I did a compression check
and the cylinders came out even! woo.. I must have had a head gasket
problem.
Before: 175-95-65-175
After: 155-165-165-165
(different head, new valve guides, springs, seats, head gasket)
Maybe more after I retorque the head...
