The purpose of the Octane Adjust Shorting Bar is to provide optimum spark advance for the fuel being used. If the vehicle engine detonates (spark knock), REMOVE the Octane Shorting Bar. This retards spark advance about 3 to 4 degrees. If the vehicle continues to detonate, use fuel with a higher octane rating.
