  1. It is linear but over a very short range. 606-52 "Euro" distributor mechanical ~12degrees is all in at 1000rpm D6K8 280zx distributor mechanical ~17degrees is all in at 1250rpm
  2. The problem I noticed with a triple carbed L engine and timing is: Z's like a lot of timing at idle (20 to 25) but not when starting (kick back)... 5 to 10 is nice when cranking A lot of timing at idle is not great for emissions (lean, slow burn likes lots of advance) too much early timing will ping fast on acceleration ~34 to 38 seems to be best range for L heads at max advance under load.... depends on chamber, cam, and compression Without vacuum advance, setting a 280zx distributor at ~ 18 initial and ~35 at final is an ok compromise... no advance for lean cruise is sad One idea I have not tried yet is to connect the choke cable where the vacuum advance connects. The cable could be pushed in to reduce the crank advance, then pulled back when running.
  3. Some guys in your country did a lot of dyno pulls to compare carbs to EFI and also advance on a 510. The results were not significantly different.... either this is the finding or they did not test properly.
  4. FACEBOOK SUCKS! HIDING DATA BEHIND A WALL AND MAKING SURE IT DISAPPEARS! WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE FALL FOR THE BS.... IT IS LIKE DRIVING AN AUTOMATIC Z!!!!!! WEAK!!!!
  5. For bump-steer optimization, what angle did you settle on for the steering rods? Are they parallel to the ground?

Here are some similar alternatives: Europe: Liberon Iron Paste: http://metalworkforums.com/f65/t171905-cast-iron-fireplace-question-restoring-using#post1662978 NA: Imperial Black Stove Polish (Canadian Tire) https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/imperial-black-stove-polish-paste-170g-0642703p.html

    It stinks: 1. Pay higher pricing for shipment to Canada at purchase 2. Get ripped off by FedEx or UPS when the shipment arrives and they charge $$$$ for "brokering fees", which one would think was part of the initial higher price in #1 above.
