VW Coolant

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

Don,
  Have you played with more advance yet? *evil grin*  IIRC, I have mine up to 26* static advance, although I did back down the overall mechanical advance to just about 8 degrees instead of the 12?  I also made it come on a lot sooner.  The sucker runs great, but with 91 it does get a bit hot in the city occassionally.  I need to back it down a little, but it runs so well...  *another evil grin*
