Plug wires are MSD 8.5 MM Superconductor. No RF.(shop lights?) The marks appear
at 34
degrees (where I want it) and down around 50 degrees, which is what is
confusing me
honestly. Why would I have advance at low RPM? but be solid at high RPM. The
motor
"sounds" good but I don't want to self destruct on the next run.
