It would want to have a two litre engine with a starting price of $10500! 
Reminds me of a girl here at work who was advertising a Hyundai Excel (early '90s) for sale with a 1.6l engine -pity they only came out with a 1.5!
Funniest part is it sold very quickly, wonder if the buyer realised....

David I received your Feroza Manual and have to say it's a very professional job.
Thank you.

Glad you like it!
There's lots of interesting bits in there, was looking through it today and the Aussie Ferozas run 2 degrees less total advance than the USA version- yet mine still detonates on 98 octane....

2 degrees less advance, 
Wonder if an American engine control module would cure our problem

The EFI computer would be the same I'm guessing, as it's got nothing to do with controlling the timing..... It's most likely only the distributor that's different- and all that would be is the springs that control the centrifical (spelling??
) advance. Maybe the springs lose their tension over time and require replacing? 
I know if you strip the distributor it says to always use new springs- it would be good to get hold of a second distributor to experiment with.
The HD-C (carby engine) has another different timing curve again!

David, I was thinking more of the mixture control. It could be the Aussie control module running a leaner fuel mix causing the detonition problem.

Will have to have a look in the manual, but I suspect they're running the same program.
Yanks fuel quality is better than ours too- they have even higher octane fuel than our 98RON from what I've been told.

Leon, have a look in the "Emissions Control" section of the service manual- the Yanks Rocky's HD-E engines are way different to our Ferozas.
According to that they've got EGR valves, plus a whole lot of other stuff. Pages EC-14 and EC-15 in particular would appear to indicate the EFI computer / wiring / emissions plumbing are very different.
