If you only plan on using it on weekends then you can do the above and register it as an antique and you never have to do a safety or emission inspection. I don't know what the spec is for a 380 engine is but 16 degrees btdc is really retarded I assume for emissions and gas. Remove the epa junk and advance the timing and bring car back to life. BTW run 93 Octane if you do.

I plan on it - I want a 'true' euro; in fact, I have a set of headlights on the way from germany as we speak. What is the 'proper' timing, btw? Alldata lists somewhere between 5-13, and I think mitchell does as well. Of course, mitchell also lists that the plug wires should have 25,000-30,000 ohms of resistance...
