Another no power problem - plz help!!!

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

Did you play with the ignition timing at all?  It sounds 
like its retarded.  When I replaced my knock box and 
sensor, the only change was that the car ignition timing 
wasn't being held back by the knock box (thinking it was 
pinging).  There should not have been a real dramatic 
change.  Have you done anything else to the car?
