     My '83 Toyota 4X4 is rated at 100 HP but hasn't got the guts to get out
of its own way.  On the other hand, my '79 Honda is rated at 68HP and has
LOTSA power!

     I suspect that the emission control is responsible for stifling the
Toyota.  I increased the timing from 5 deg to 15 deg with little
improvement. Perhaps the emmission computer simply compensates by increasing
the vacuum retard line and decreasing the vacuum advance.

     Does anyone have any experience with this?  Is there anything I can
easily do to get more power. (I don't want headers, bigger carbs, manifolds,
etc....just adjustments or bypasses)

     By the way, another disappointment is that I only get 18 - 20 MPG.
Seems like it ought to be about 24 - 25.

Any suggestions?
