been messing with these vw's for nearly 20 years...last one *I* set by ear
sounded great, ran great, and was way off....they run great and pretty damn
peppy at 50+degrees total advance...but not for long....setting by "ear" is
an emergency move to get you home to your strobe light...

you really are a dumbass aren't you? read your reply...... you said
it....now you want to back pedal? you said "my uncle can set timing by
ear"....then ">> > he's set 50 or more like that, he's FIXED wut orther
mechanic have
>> > said was set right... then he took it to a new guy and they said it
>> > WAS right... HE KNOW wut he's doing,"


now you **** off if you can't accurately communicate in a written
forum....i'd guess at this point, your reading comprehension is as honed as
your vw knowledge.... eat ****, "iight"

I agree also.... you can set it by ear.... it might appear to run good....
but when you get a strobe on it.... the timing is all screwed up...

Scotty,

I'm glad your uncle is an "expert" because you're burning bridges
here. I hope you treat him better than you treat others that are
trying to help out.

Good Luck! and Grow Up!

John
