Model "T" timing control option

I got tired of trying to time my 351M to run on the stuff they call gasoline now. I just hooked a control from a lawn mower throttle to the distributor. Now if I hear it knocking on a long pull I just pull out the **** until it is running smooth. I go to the mountains I can move the **** all the way in for high altitude. Henry had it right one hundred years ago.

Now you need a knock sensor to listen for the ping and activate a motor to pull the cable until the ping stops.
