It does? Where did you find that information Frank?

On the V-8s, we have found that worn trigger points can cause what appears to be over-richness. Some Porsche owners figured it might be caused by worn points bouncing and sending multiple pulses to the ECU.

On my own car, I found a low mileage used set of triggers and they cured problem. It is possible to get more life out of the triggers by bending the tabs. Norbert (Nordfisch) who sometimes posts here has a simple tool that helps adjust the trigger points. Several of us have reset the points so that they stay closed for about 120-130deg. That seems to work on the V-8. Presumably same for I6?

PS: You can check the angle with an ohmeter and a home made gauge like this one:
