engine slows when advance timing

Start the engine, slowly take the choke off and let it warm a bit, slowly advance timing from full retard to moderate advance.....and the idle speed starts to slow down and almost die out.

Re: Model Tree

I remember a friend bought an old Cadillac that was in a garage, and a large tree had grown up in front of the garage door and had to be cut down to get the car out.

But that pic "takes the cake"...

Re: Uncanny stories about A's

An interesting story Chuck.

I haven't seen a Truly Nolen car parked for a business display in a long time.

Wonder if they are still around?

Re: Cheap Gas

Those 350cc Honda's were good bikes.....would keep up with my 500cc Triumph.

And the Honda's didn't leak oil :)

Re: Cheap Gas

I remember gas at $ .19 (19 cents) a gallon in Detroit in gas wars in 1969.

But my Ram Air GTO required Sunoco 260 at 24.9 cents per gallon though :)

Re: Hagerty Roadside Asssitance

Does anyone recall where, as in what model year, Hagerty sets the date when a car/truck becomes a "modern vehicle?
