That's one of the things I like about the MSD adjustable timing control for
their ignition.  I can adjust the timing from the dashboard for local
conditions.  Gas available, load, temp, etc.  Works great.

I've noticed that the engine is completely transformed when I change from 0
BTDC to 15 BTDC.  But for this I have to run premium gas.  Can't get nearly
to 15 when running regular in the summer.  Fortunately I don't have to put a
lot of miles on Scout so it's easier to afford.
