Dear Lee;
If Mr. Langdon says that GM makes some of It's HEI distributers "out of phase"; We all agree.
So what??
There have been 100s of millions of engines made (worldwide)prior to the CLEAN AIR ACT, which created the HEI.
It(the device)was mandated by Congress (535 politicians/lawyers)not Automotive Engineers. That occured after/later.
How is it not being perfect, a surprise or meaningfull??
Yours truly, John M....
