That jives with what I've measured also. To add more info - 29.5 in-Hg w/key on
engine off and 1.5-8.5 in-Hg while running according to my scan tool on at least 3
different trucks.

I also plan to post (to my website) 3D maps of timing advance both with and
without the MP computer as I have already collected the data. I'll be plotting
rpm vs map with advance points in the z-plane just like the ones at that website.
Will post a URL when I have them completed. Anyone recommend a simple 3D plotting
program that has good output? I want to feed it a flat ascii, comma-delimited
datafile w/3 values per line w/each line as a different timeslice.

Latr,

Shane
