Jay, I think somewhere you've got something muddled up.
I've never known a manufacturer's optimum timing setting ever be that much
out - just can't believe this statement. 10 degrees is an enormous amount,
especially when you're ADVANCING beyond their standard setting. 2.1 Digijets
for instance over here are run 4 - 5 degrees retarded for plonk green fuel,
the standrad Euro DJ engine running a 10.5:1 CR and hence requiring 98
Octane.
