There is also a Mac document on it, not sure if it's been uploaded atm, will have a hunt (it really should have, it's typical Mac 30-40 pages of awesomeness)
'89(G) 340 GLE B172k

A useful chap posted a bunch of this in a thread i started last year... First pic has the float setting advice.

Don't know if that info is already in the pdf above as it took aaaages to load and i gave up.




By the way, thanks again for that dspec, still enjoying driving the thing:D
