[T3] 034 on Squareback

[Keith Park]

The Opel 1900's used to run lean on the rear cylinder, the 64 would have
been an 1100 though, not sure if the same problem.  I think by the time
injection came around that was worked out as my 75 wasn't retarded but up
till the end of carbs they would sometimes burn a valve there.

The bulletin doesn't make any mention of why, but it does also 
mention that the 4th lobe (so the 4th cylinder in the Opal firing 
order) on the dist for the Opal Rekord A is was retarded starting 
March '64.
