I'm glad the original poster is finally happy with a high compression head.

I have to agree with Brent and a few others, there is a lot of misinformation in this thread and similar threads. When someone asks how can they drive 60 mph all day, and the responses vary from transmission type, spark rod set to 9:00 and leave it, put a centrifugal advance distribution in, and run the mystery oil!

Changing out parts is not the simple solution. These things are simple, and forgiving machines. There's too much over thinking, without the understanding of how it all comes together and works. Like the T5 transmission comment, do you know how many variations of the T5 transmission exist? Dozens!

Just be careful with the information, especially considering this will be searchable and will probably come back up years from now, with a new question from a new person trying to learn. If I followed the timing advice in this thread alone, I'd be overheating, and would kill my gas mileage during every trip.
