[TR] Another Crazy Question: Beware, chestnut related

[wbeech at flash.net]

4 degrees is what is called for, you could bump it up a couple with no
adverse affects but listen closely for pinging under a load.  If you hear
pinging you either need to back it down or pony up for the next higher
octane grade of petrol.

Subject: [TR] Another Crazy Question: Beware, chestnut related

Haven't researched archives, so don't feel obligated to respond.  I seem to
remember hearing a couple of different recommendations on how much to set
the advance on a TR3A engine.  ISTR one was 4 degrees, another lister
thought 8 degrees.  Engine is at I think 4 right now, but running as if it
lacks the pep I'm used to.  

Thoughts?
