Timing. 

Retarded. 

Me I mean.

On the road trip to Santa Fe last week I'd retarded it on the
side-of-the-road "a few degrees" to deal with the crap gas I was buying.
A "few" turned out to be 10. Can't beat actual measurement! Didn't
pinging though, uhuh.

The 87-93 Clymer's Jeep 258 book I have, says the carburetted motor
wants 9 - 11 btdc static timing. I never bothered to look in the newer
books before [but wanted to double-check the new-fangled timing mark
setup], I assumed (ahem) it would be the same as older models (usually 4
- 6btdc). Wrong again.

I set it to 8btdc. I'll find out tomorrow on the drive to Irvine (45 mi.
each way). I hope I'm not wrong a third time.

Tom I hope that cures your problem. Me with the crap gas we have had for
years I gave up using a timing light long ago and have set my timing by
ear under a load on a hill.
