Okay, maybe there is no such thing. I've seen advice and timing numbers tossed around on here a lot, and I'm wondering what everybody's opinion would be for my application (I'm doing the timing this weekend).
Car: 1981 VW pickup, CY Turbo diesel, stock turbo, uprated downpipe, stock pump.
Goals: I am mainly concerned with keeping the engine as healthy as possible, and the fuel mileage as good as I can. Also, keeping EGT's down is always a good thing.
Power and speed are great if they are in line with making it more efficient/reliable, but something tells me they are not. I mostly drive on the highway.
I've heard different numbers (1.05 seems to stand out in my mind) mentioned often. I have it currently set in the upper range of bentley spec, which I can't recall at the moment, although it's been a while since I checked timing.
Anyways, any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Garry
