Just placed my order for the Bluetooth model for the engine I am currently rebuilding for my 1976 Porsche 912E. It is bored and stroked to 2270 (based upon the Raby 912E engines). Hope we get to the 15% Discount!!!

Ordered my D-Jet unit today. This will be interesting too, once we all get ours and install, to hear the various experiences.
Still not totally clear to me if I should be connecting the vac advance or retard lines, since the 76 has both, but this has to be a good step in the right direction. I will get my hands on a spare distributor clamp, and leave my original all timed and in the tool bag. That way if there are any issues (all electronic guys, functionality is usually binary, either works or doesn't) I have a spare to drop in at side of the road. Looking forward to getting mine. Now to go count how many have ordered to see if we are going to hit the 15% number! |

With respect to the advance or retard question read Brad Anders site and then the instruction manual. It is interesting and will answer your question. I will also end up with a spare distributor..."just in case". |

Just talked to Ed today- probably don't need the bluetooth option but may get it to have for the future. Just need to make sure that model has the 16 or so preset advance curves in it if I don't need or want to get "fancy" right off the bat.
Not sure I'm smart enough to use the bluetooth option anyway! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

With respect to the advance or retard question read Brad Anders site and then the instruction manual. It is interesting and will answer your question. Thanks for the good advice here. After reading Brad's page on distributors, and looking at the 123 manual again, it seems pretty clear that there are no performance advantages to connecting the vacuum retard. It was to improve emissions results, and only served to degrade performance at low speeds until the throttle was opened enough to take it out of the equation. The 123 manual page shows that there is a single vacuum port that can be electronically configured to either provide vacuum advance (settings 1-8) or vacuum retard (settings 9-F). That probably leaves settings 1-8 as the viable options, aside from capping off the vacuum port entirely. Thanks again for the good advice. Appreciate it! |

I thought this distributor looked familiar. I ran across this 914 install a few months ago on YouTube. How's everyone's German!?

For those have the programmable units already, any tests using a stock curve and then a "tuned" curve following 123ignitions lessons?
