Re: Timing Question about 5682s

For a simple problem this is certainly complex...or is it the other way?

I do have the later distributor and I think I have all the pertinent service letters/bulletins.

We had figured to set this according to the service letter material, aided by meters and ears.

To clarify, I always use 93 octane gas plus artificial lead from gunk.

The reason I am fussing about this is precisely because I do not want to abuse the motor.

The other problem I am having is differing advice overload syndrome. It scares me when you all disagree just enough to seem really different. One local tech expert wants me to run only 87 octane "because it runs cooler". (Remember, this began as an overheating issue,)

Every third person has either a highly preferred gas and/or oil that is the only product any living person should use.

I really appreciate that all of you are trying to help. Leaving your own advice out, who makes the best sense here?
Hopefully I can reach a comfortable consensus....
