Got the 123Ignition yesterday, I pushed all of my projects back!
"Sorry granny I'll get to those bearings on your heart/lung machine soon, I promise."
Blocked out 3 hours for the removal and install.
Added about an hour to charge the battery.
Installed as expected, there is a spacer that is necessary for type 4, just slides over the dizzy shaft.
I decided to route the wires and vacuum away from the fan so access to the vacuum nipple was easier, since the vacuum can is gone there's a lot more space.
Followed the instructions but made the mistake of using the TDC 0* instead of the 27* as the basic timing point. I just walked the dizzy CCW until she started!
Didn't do anything other than matched my timing with my idle, I let her run till she settled down.
Just around the block once, ha ha the trailer hitching is GONE!
Responsive throttle, man!
Setting up a tuning session, nice 150 mile run up the California coast with the AFR meter.

Ive got the 123 for my Bmw2002. I have yet to put it in, but I'm excited about it.

For yours on your car, you can tune these beyond just setting the timing. Actually get mapping and can reset the curve to get the most out of your ignition. My guess is that you have a little tuning to do.

Also, the operating temps should not be a concern. I think the -30C to 95C is ambient temps, not engine oil temps. The ignition module is on the cool side of the engine tins, and it was designed for the more cramped bug engine bay. That said, contact 123. See what they have to say. From what I have read on the BMW forums, their people are really helpful. If I did not already have crankfire on my 914, I'd be getting one of these unites for my 914 too.
