MPS Adjustment, It helps to have the right tools Options

[Mblizzard]

I post this only because I struggled to find the proper tools to adjust my MPS after going to a 2056. While I was able to make adjustments using standard tools, I could never get it exactly right. I asked several people about where I could get the right tools and could not find them. It is likely that this is well known to everyone but me, but I finally found what I needed at Tangerine Racing.

It is such a simple tool but without it you can't really be sure you are adjusting only one of the screws without changing the other one. So once again Chris is the man that can put the right tool in your hand. I have been close on the adjustment many times only to mess it up trying one more small change.

If you are playing with your MPS just get one of the MPS tuning kits from Chris it will make your life much easier.

If you don't have the exact RLC meter that Brad used ( I forget the brand and model but it is no longer made) the values he gives are really more of a guideline.

I have a pro quality meter but not the specific one he used and the L values needed some tweaking.

Brian,

Are you saying you can set up a MPS using values? I have been trying to do it to A/F meter readings. I have an extra MPS that I may want to have someone play with.

Brian,

You can calibrate them using a meter that can measure inductance (usually called an RLC meter) and a hand vacuum pump. If the specs are not on Brad Anders web site, they are in an old post here.

The issue is that there appears to be some variation between meters. Unless you have the exact model Brad used, it will be a ball park setting. In my case, made the car driveable but needed fine tuning with a/f meter.

If you had a known good MPS, I'm pretty sure you could "copy" the calibration to another using any decent meter.
