Subject:      '85 Digijet Timing
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have set the timing to 2 or 3 degrees  BTDC.  (I had been running at TDC
for several weeks.)  The low end power does seem slightly better.  It is
clearly better than 4 or 5 degrees ATDC.  Disconnecting the vacuum lines on
the distributor did not affect the timing at idle. (Haynes says to
disconnect them, Bentley says no.)  I am going to leave it here until I
have a chance to do some sustained interstate driving.   Looking through
the Bentley at all the other ignition settings, the Digijet is the only one
with this "retarded" starting point.   Anyone know why? Are the cams
different?
