Currently D-Jet owners are limited to using the stock distributor which besides being 30 years old, does not have an easy method of changing the timing curve for those that want to optimize thier ignition.
For those that have been on the board for a while, I made an optical circuit that fit inside an aftermarket Mallory billet distributor (I'm sure it's work just as well in a billet MSD distributor) Our (Fiid and I) new design has no moving parts, just 1 wire to the coil with the other 3 wires pluging into the factory engine harness to bypass the mechanical points inside the D-Jet distributor. Ideally for testing purposes keeping the stock distributor with the trigger points intact would be a good idea in case a problem did occur with the prototype unit and you could just unplug our modual and hookup the factory connectors easily. |

unplug the 3 pin connector going to the stock distributor, plug the module into the engine harness and connect one wire to the - side of the coil
should last the life of the vehicle or even longer, it's just a bunch of discrete semiconductors and passive components thrown together in the correct orientation....for a stock distributor, I see no real improvment over a perfect set of mechanical points....if using an aftermarket distributor, this module is one of the only a few methods (both designed by me) for keeping the stock D-Jet fuel injection
well, this can be used with the stock distributor or an aftermarket distributor....for testing, no replacement distributor supplied by me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) for a stock distributor, about the only reason to use the new module is to eliminate the mechanical points which cost approx. $95 new. |
