Dean, Thanks for posting that picture. I was thinking of some models that had more of a pointer. The ZERO line is stamped into the block. Some earlier models also have two thumb screws for adjustment rather than the hex head bolt to lossen for movement.

The ZERO LINE may be difficult to see, if any paint has filled the stamping, as on my engines.

Thanks Dean, I have that page out, I just thought adjusting the octane you wouldn't need a wrench it would seem.
