Im in the process of replacing my starter and fuel filter and I wanted to know what increasing the time from 10* to 14* on the distributor does? Will this affect the performance of the motor or hurt it? I know this is a stupid question but you can never be to cautious with protecting such a healthy motor at just 76,000 miles on the clock and especially during these times with the economy!

It should give you a few horsepower, but you'll have to run 93 octane or you may get preignition.

Don't mean to bust your bubble but unless you put in a new motor or personally know the previous owner(s), a 1987 Mustang more than likely would have 176,000 miles on the clock. A 22 year old car would have had to be driven less than 3500 miles per year to have 76,000.

Would would happen if I just run 91 octane?

IS it okay to run premium with the timing set at 14 or it has to be 93?
