yours might be like mine the computer would know I was playing with the dist and not change the timing but only if it was running . if I moved the dist when the truck was off then started it up the new timing would work I still don’t know why but this takes care of that problem.
try one day to advance or retard while running with a timing light see if it does change if it don’t try just turning off and restarting that’s when mine would be changed ?

Timing changes alright. Rpm and smothness increase when advancing. What I meant was I can’t tell a difference in power running woodgas stock timing or advanced.

I understand now it might be the low horsepower to begin with so the ratio would be less just a guess most of the time one cant tell the difference between high and low octane fuel except on a dino machine it would be nice to have one of those for testing.

Supposedly you can switch between tunes on the fly with this system, you could have a normal tune, a hybrid tune, and a wood gas tune
