I agree with you. However with the dist.s we have currently (I have the Mallory), you have to take the dist apart and change out springs & weights.
With my idea, you can change the advance in 10 seconds without taking anything apart. I could probably make the software such that you could modify the parameters on the fly while the engine is running. Having just one of those seems it would be an advantage to an engine builder to be able to find the sweet spot while on the dyno. With the cost of Dyno time, the dist would pay for itself just by not having to disassemble the dist between runs. However I am guessing that anyone who tunes a lot of these engines probably have a variable timing system like the $$ MSD for initial setup. I know there are distributors with mechanical "Programmable" curves, but are a PITA. I looked into the Magnaspark II that does exactly what I want, but AFAI can tell, it wont mechanically fit on our engine. So if I am crazy, then so are these guys: http://www.cbperformance.com/Articles.asp?ID=254 |
