[Shotimes] Shorting Plug is on the website

[Leigh Smith]

Thanks George;
I wasn't aware they functioned differently. But somewhere I found that the
one by the headlight is called the octane adjust plug, and the other is the
PIP ? shorting plug. My understanding from the Pobst book is that the octane
plug is a constant retard to allow for bad gas, etc, and the other one puts
the ECM into limp-home mode. I've driven with the octane plug pulled, it
only chops power a little, it's still pretty driveable, it just lost it's
edge. The firewall one must be for tune-ups, etc. If it goes to a constant
10 all the time, then that one probably retards the timing by 20 degrees or
more at idle.
