<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hi Malcom, and thanks for offering info on timing.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I'm going to try several methods today and if I'm
<DIV></DIV>&gt;not successful I'll take you up on offer to email
<DIV></DIV>&gt;info on the Muir static method.&nbsp;&nbsp;But I'm hopeful
<DIV></DIV>&gt;that today will be the magic timing day.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's
<DIV></DIV>&gt;finally stopped raining so I'm in a better mood
<DIV></DIV>&gt;already.

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Black Dog asks, "Is this here table for my mate
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Bill?"&nbsp;&nbsp;I told him I did not know his mate Bill,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;but this table was a person who stayed in our house
<DIV></DIV>&gt;whom we called the captain. "Well, my mate Bill
<DIV></DIV>&gt;would be called the captain, like as not.&nbsp;&nbsp;He has
<DIV></DIV>&gt;a cut on one cheek and a mighty pleasant way with
<DIV></DIV>&gt;him, particularly in drink, has my mate Bill."

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Have you tried static timing&nbsp;&nbsp;as per John Muir???&nbsp;&nbsp;if
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; you waNt the pages I have them scanned (JPG) and I can
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; either post them or send them.&nbsp;&nbsp;This method works for
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; my 91 (but it's running a carb).&nbsp;&nbsp;m
