However the plasma spark maybe faster at converting the fuel energy so one should definitely be testing different timing positions and bring it all the way to TDC if it gives best economy. Leaving it stock you may not see any benefits while using the plasma spark or even losses as it will somewhat stall the piston movement if the fuel energy is before TDC.
You may also need to lock the timing advance mechanism.
Let us know of your result once you change things.

Update on my 1988 Dodge Raider with weber Carb with no electronic controls. I am running kiker wires and ball sparkplugs and two sizes jet smaller in carb. This is with stock ignition with a msd coil. Fuel burn went from 15 to 23 mpg. Kiker wires didn't help any over the regular wires. I then changed my timing to tdc but when I tried to drive the car I had such a reduction in power that I changed it right back. I then put in my hydroxy generator putting out 1 lpm Hydroxy and checked the mileage and got no change, still 23 mpg??? I couldn't believe it. I guess I need to put in water mist or steam next. I know in my heart that water will work as fuel with the right fog, mist, steam whatever and the right ignition and timing or lightning bolt. I just haven't found it yet. God knows and when the time is right maybe he will give us this knowledge. Keep on working guys Keep on keeping on Bob E.
