[TECH] Cis to CIS w/ Knock Box

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

32' advance... wow!

well I have the box and its now almost wired all in (need knock sensor) why
because 3a/jh combo reaches close to 10.8:1 compression and after 8 weeks of
working on this engine I do not want to have pings nor break downs... (never
will I do a 2L conversion on a vw again... next time I pay someone to do
it.!)

=>Hi Patrick;
=>    Unless you are running some ungodly high compression ratio why install
=>the knock box.? By definition it is there to retard ignition
=>advance and so
=>to rob power. In my 79 Scirocco I'm running an Audi 1800 8V with 10 to 1
=>compression, no knock sensor and it is truly happy with premium
=>gas. Tuning
=>specs are distributor with points, only mechanical advance ( no vacuum
=>advance or retard ). Timing is set to 32 degrees total advance.
