Re: Vacuum advance dist. for Model A
Arizona Bob. I think it is a matter of degree. Two or three degrees may make the engine run cooler, especially on a higher compression engine. That is one notch on the ignition lever on a Model A. The very slightly retarded ignition means that cylinder is not producing as much power and will run cooler by a few degrees. This is all guess work on my account. I am trying to put myself in the mind of the VW engineers.

Thanks nkaminar. Sounds plausible. This now makes sense to me considering the slightly retarded no. 3 cylinder will make a little less power and thus run cooler by a few degrees.
