I just completed the check on my 76. In talking with the technician I found out a few interesting points.
1. Timing is spec'd at 8 degrees BTDC in their book. 3 degrees plus/minus variation is allowed. So, no more than 11. If you have the emission sticker attached to your coach (which I don't) they could use the numbers on it.
2. Because it has two gas tanks the evaporative system check isn't required.
3. Because the gas cap doesn't fit any of the standard cap testers, it isn't tested either.
4. The last test was to gun the motor two times and look for smoke coming out the exhaust pipe.
