I advanced my Injection timing by 3* and adjusted my ALDA for greater output to compensate for using Biodiesel and I can get to 55 much sooner than the 27 seconds I've heard about!
Did the valve adjust about 1500 miles ago. Assuming I have some chain stretch after 2+ decades and 180K miles, what could I expect from advancing my injection timing 3 degrees, while running on normal diesel?

Happy Motoring, Mark
