I had this as a Open Office document, had to cut, paste, and modify to post, after modified the alignment was still screwed up again, oh well.
Adjusting Torsion Value TV Sticker reads -1.1?
Move cam gear Backward = Advance + TV +1.0
Move cam gear Forward = Retard – TV -1.0
Move cam bolt Backward = Retard – TV -1.0
Move cam bolt Forward = Advance +TV +1.0

Fuel deviation range +-.50 higher = bad inj, worn cam, low comp

*ziptie mod melted, replaced with solid wire, needed to adjust first, get baseline MPG,75mph/trip miles
**slightly tightened “zip tie wire”
a- Driven 8000+ miles consistent 42.9mpg MFD, new BEW forged steel cam set + cam oil mod 8-27-16 @201k mi +filled with 15w 50 Mobil 1 + 8oz Lucas Zinc-Plus@ cam break in and oil changes.
b- fuel from extremely slow BP station pump, bottom of tank?
c- 10+ mph headwind last 40 miles dropped 40.3 to 40.1
d- Reset MPG before getting on hwy at start of trip
e- replace new filter w/gd used when 5gal b99 +fill d2, filled filter w/b99
9-21-16 203k
All MPG MFD readings, A= advance cam, R= retard, A/C most of the time, usually 88-92 air temp
Of course driving at 75 on cruise you will need to slow or speed up from traffic these speeds are very close, not Eco-modding but kicking it down occasionally to pass. Speeds to 75 to 80+ according to traffic conditions
I am self employed and don't commute. Almost all miles I drive are Interstate, up to 2000 miles in 4 days.
