OK, so I didn't know what FCB and FDB mean. But if the value in 01A were FF, 
that would be 90 degrees maximum spark advance. Why would you ever need to go 
higher than 90 degrees SA at the crank? Only on a 4 cylinder could you even 
need 90 degrees. And since 90 degrees at the crank translates to 45 degrees 
at the cam (distributor), you are really protecting from going past the 
halfway point under the distributor cap. It didn't occur to me that you would 
need two locations to describe max SA. And at 90 degrees, why should it.

But the real question is so what if I learn things on here that I use to help 
me make money? You choose not to but why hold that decision against me. I'm 
not the only one, I'm just the one who gets under your skin for some reason. 
I'm also not going to sit back and take your abuse without calling you on it. 
The archives are full of people who've gotten into flames with you, so I'll 
leave it at that. And if you don't want to help me, don't.
