Just changed plugs, rotor, distributor cap. Engine has moderate spark knock/detonation when under load like climbing a hill, accelerating hard (if there is such a thing in a Vanagon). Timing issues I'm sure, but if any one has any tips about how best to tackle this detonation-under-load issue, or tips and tricks on setting the timing, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver |
