electronic distributors - any further feedback?

[Ian Williams]

No Colin, I don't think you understand, that will not tell you how it actually reforms, only what degree of timing scatter, advance curve and point bounce a unit exhibits. If you are comparing two distributors neither of which have and ideal advance curve what will that tell you, that one is different to the other? Unless of course you know before hand what the ideal parameters are, which is exactly what I have been trying to say. With a seven we do not have that information unless we do extensive testing under measured conditions on an engine, this is where a rolling road comes in, or measured runs under controlled conditions, as I am sure you know if you actually stop and think about it for a moment.
