My kind of break Doc  ;). Nice running hit an miss you have there. Maybe it was the video, but as much as you were advancing and retarding the timing, I was surprised at how little difference it made in the sound and speed of the engine.

  Yes it's been lie that since the first time it's ran.  From retard to advanced I think it's around 90 degrees. If you retard it enough it will get louder as the exhaust valve is opening into the power stroke. And it you advance it enough you can hear it start knocking. I don't think the camera picked up the sound very well.
