Re: Ignition Timing
Before I was old and deaf I'd loosen a distributor and keep advancing timing until I could make it spark knock. Then keep backing it off a little at a time 'til it stopped knockin'. Usually then, they wouldn't turn on the starter. I put a button in several cars and 1 truck that would kill(ground) the ignition circuit. Push the button, get it turning on the starter & turn loose of the button to start. Kinda crude, but my wife says I am.
