Hey Tom it would be interesting to see where your lumy meter says the timing is t 9.5*BTDC. I'm guessing somewhere between 0 and -1.5 at 1400. I time with luminosity and shoot for close to TDC, mine has drifted to about -1.5 though. Luminosity timing is more dependent on fuel cetane levels and for my B100 homebrew I assume a 47+ Cetane rating and much lower BTU/unit than the old high sulfur diesel.

9.5 BTDC is using the pop testing method with a ferret sensor on the cylinder 1 injector line that senses the minute expansion of the just before the injector fires, as opposed to exactly as the combustion occurs using the lumy method, hense the difference. I would assume that your last point is why the kit was supposed to come with that diesel grade test tube thing that was short shipped when the kit was new.
