Timing Advance Coupe Q 86

[Larry C Leung]

That's the max recommended (for perfomance, that is) in the knock sensor
equipped VW 1.8 8V HT engines (also similar to the 85 Audi 4000 non-Q
engines).  That IS with a sensor (and I do get mild "pinking" at throttle
tip in using anything less than 92 octane, so I know at least intial
advance in that case is  a knock sensor retarded 9 degrees).
