Hi
My distributor is a Powerspark unit purchased via eBay. Not sure how the advance works as I've yet to take it apart.
The only 'problem' I encountered is to set the initial timing as there are no reference points, no pun intended.
A cheap strobe and an intelligent guess got it fairly close and then it was just fine tuning. Haven't touched it since installation and set up.
The strobe shows the advance curve. I locked off the manual advance lever on the steering wheel as it is not needed.
I drive my RN on all sorts of Welsh roads, flat and hilly and have yet to experience any problems.
