It's not really a timing advance kit. What it's doing is altering the electrical resistance of an engine sensor so that you're engine will run rich. It will cause all sorts of problems over the long run.

I've seen those on e-bay and all it is a resistor i'm not sure of the resistance value but it goes on the end of the IAT plug on your air intake tube if i recall correctly you can go to www.installuniversity.com and it gives you the procedure and radio shack part #'s to do it if you want to get the inside scoop on it. believe it or not some people are payin big bucks for them.
