I'll have to learn what the Advance/Retard is on the distributor and find out what proper heat range plugs to use.

Hi Vitruvius

I hope I do not repeat in a redundant way what someone else might has said (I haven´t read all comments very detailed)

When I visited your country two years ago I was wondering how all the Porsches etc. could run with just 93 octane maximum to be offered.
The solution is, you have different octane ratings:

In Europe RON, in the US AKI

97 RON = 92 AKI
