Scott and fellow Audi sages. I've read with great enthusiasm about the
centrifugal cam advance. And even considered the then $300 asking price
couple years back when it was advertised in Euro Car mag for Audi and PCar
944's.

But does that really work in a front cam belted 2.2 inline 5 that drives
the distributor off the BACK of the engine. I'm a little confused about
what a cam gear that has a mind of its own will do to the ignition timing.

needing more horsies. Don't we all.
