What are the dangers of running too cool? I've got a Nock's 160 degree sleeved thermostat in now as I'm running thru the southwest with temps well into the 90's. BJ8 is running 160 - 170 degrees. Ran

There is a huge ignition static advance anomaly between the factory specs for a BJ8 and every earlier 12 port 3000. The closest explanation for this i can offer is that the later 12 port heads are ma
