Thank you George, And all who responded with helpfull advice.
I assess from reading these responces that basically every B20F motor has a "sweet" spot in timing. I took George's advice and set to timing-by-sound after a brief timing-light setting. I took my tools with for a drive and adv/ret the timing using minor detents and frequent stops to come into the "sweet". Mine turned out to accelerate hard and idle smoothly at 16°.
Thanks all for the advice ----Eric Rossman--73/145--
