[TECH] Cis to CIS w/ Knock Box

[boisfort@myhome.net (Decker)]

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.
