KV engine setup

[rob hod]

 Interesting. The good ol' Haynes manual specifies for the KV

 'vacuum hose on, 17 to 19 degrees BTDC at idle'.

 Looks like the vacuum advance is doing nothing at idle. Which is
reasonable. As Mihnea says, this is CIS, not CIS-E, no cat,no lambda, no
duty cycle. Not much to go wrong and 136bhp bone stock.
