Looking to purchase the Bluetooth model, because the engine is not stock.
Engine is:
4-Cylinders (103mm) 2.3L.
Not original Cam.
Dual EMPI 44mm Carbs (without vacuum)
Current distributor is 009.


The real problem with this car is its owner (me).
Tried to set the timing once (with my son keeping the RPM's at 3K). I couldn't see anything, got confused, so I left it where it was.

Could the Bluetooth distributor be too confusing for me?
Do we keep the same coil?
When ordering, do we also need to order the spacer?

The plan is to purchase this thing, and then lean heavily onto this community to get the car running again. This strategy has worked in the past.


I'll try to answer these, but I've just ordered mine, so I'm pretty much in the same boat as you.

1. I suspect if you can work a cell phone, then the Bluetooth version will not be too confusing.

2. I am planning to keep the same coil. Maybe someone who bought one last round can chime in.

3. I believe the spacer comes with it standard. Ed, can you verify?

Based on what I've read, it seems that you can get away with just setting the static timing, so it should be simpler to deal with than the 009. I guess it would still be useful to verify the actual timing with the car running though.

They recommend using a new coil. In theory, you should not have to if yours is serviceable, but it is recommended.

There is good info in this thread (or specifically at this post: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...&p=2545698)

Also, spacer comes with the unit. You don't have to purchase separately.

These things can be slightly tricky to set up initially, but once you've got 'em they are rock solid.

Interesting reading through this thread again.

Main thing I saw was understanding how vacuum advance works.

For timing advance the source of the vacuum needs to be "ported" vacuum and not manifold vacuum.

So on the TB it is the port just on the inside of the intake side. This will produce advance on part load.

There are some cool threads that can be "Goggled" on the subject.

Ed,
I just ordered mine (Order #1769).
But the checkout process went soo quick (with Apple Pay) that I was not able to insert the group buy code. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Could you still apply the discount please?

Br,

Yes I will cover that for you. The GB is now at 6 and will soon hit 10 I will process your discount when the target of 10 is hit. If for some odd reason we don't make 10 you will still get the 5%.
Hope this helps
Ed

I’m leaning towards getting in on this GB but have a question is the 123 compatible with the MSD thingy and MSD Blaster coil currently on my car? Thanks

Yes with the MSD but you must wire it according the the MSD Points diagram. The blaster coil is questionable as I don't know the resistance. Typically the recommendation is no coils below 1 ohm resistance.

That's a cliff, not a fence. But still, there's water down there, so jump in anyway!
