- Fellow fiends: Please settle these issues: I'm having a 'discussion' with a member of my local car guy support group on timing the venerable B-series engine. Please tell me if the following statement

- Um, usually there will be a dynamic timing spec, which will give you better timing in the event that the distributor's advance curve is not what it was/should be. It is my humble opinion, to boot, th

- Well, the Bentley version of the shop manual lists static timing as the recommended way to do it. I've done both, I can say if there was much difference. Well with my ported polish head, LCB big bore

- Don't listen to him. This, actually, is partly true. My car's vaccum advance was broken when I bought it this spring, and it runs great. However, a discalimer: I don't have much to compare it to, as

- Since the guy is a good friend I won't call him a prat! The B lump responds excellently to both mild and heavy tuning. Why did MG give out tuning tips to all those hungry for more performance? There

- I believe Huffacker was turning out even more than 140bhp in the sixties and seventies. I would love to know what they can push today. Since the guy is a good friend I won't call him a prat! The B lu
