>It was a Japanese manual. My details might be a little off from a decade

but the manual did use a different measurement. I was hoping to jog
someone's
memory and get a more accurate answer.
Sorry if I insulted your intelligence about the timing.<
I am anxious to get ALL the Info possible. You certainly did NOT insult
my inteligence. I may
be wrong about the difference between research and motor octane ratings.
It may well be
that in UK in mid-60's they used one or the other which ever was higher.
If that were true, then
it may very well be that the 94 octane we have is perfectly sufficient for
a properly tuned and
clean engine!
However, the car dieseled like mad from very early on. Maybe the carbon
occurred early on
too! After a moderately good de-carbonization of the combustion chamber
surface of the
head, the run-on persisted. I assumed that the problem would be
octane-related (high
compression related). The run-on may well still be engine related!
