Nope, it doesn't! Pretty strange, but that's the way they did it - no weights in the distributor. Pretty funny trying to prove this to mechanics who think "all" cars have centrifugal advance! Eric Law BTW, not 100% sure of this, but I don't think any of those generation turbos ('85-'93/'94 16V) used EZK. EZK is a knock-sensing system, and in the turbos the knock sensor drives the APC system. john wrote in message ... >Does the T16 have engine speed related ignition advance ( Not the EKZ >later version) while resetting the timing the other day it stayed at 16 >btdc at all the way through the rpm range (vacuum off) I know the vacuum >capsule advances and retards but my old 8V had speed advance via >centrifugal weights in the distributor. > >John
