Greg,
>Obviously experimenting with R16 is inexpensive and worthwhile. If my original post inspires those who have tried the modification to, at the very least, check their car with a timing light, then I am happy to have posted this thread.
This is the
table of ignition timing Paul Wurm collected some months (years?) ago. Maybe that is of some use for you all.
The columns are titeled as follows:
Datum = date
Fzg = model
Bj = model year
Fgnr = VIN (german coding)
Schlnr = german code number
Motornr = engine number
ZZP Soll LL = ignition timing at idle (factory value)
ZZP Soll 3200/91Okt = ignition timing at 3200/min with fuel ROZ 91 Normal Benzin (german standard fuel) (factory value)
ZZP Soll 3200/95Okt = see above with fuel ROZ 95 (german premium fuel) Super Benzin (factory value)
Codierstecker = part number and description of R16 plug
Stellung Cod.st. = position of the adjustable R16 plug
ZZP LL = ignition point at idle (actual value)
ZZP 3200U/min = ignition point at 3200/min (actual value)
2.Durchgang = 2nd run
3.DG = 3rd run
4.DG = 4th run
mU = with vacuum at the EZL-computer
oU = without vauum at the EZL-computer
kindest regards,
bis denn,
Christian
