Hello, can I get many opinions on installing electronic ignition on 914s?

I am a total idiot, that cannot even set the timing with a strobe light.
Total confusion sets in when I stick my head above this raging engine, trying to peek down this little hole. I cannot see Jack-sh.t, while yelling at my son to keep the revs up to 3,000. But all this doesn’t matter anymore. I bought the 1-2-3 distributor with Bluetooth option. During install I just rotated it until the green light came on. Then put in the curve with an iPhone and DONE. The problem I had with the Petronics (occasional misfire at 3,000 rpm) was gone. The 1-2-3 unit is not cheap, but for an idiot like me totally worth it. It has some additional perks, like temperature check, RPM display, disable ignition (against theft) etc. But never having to stick my head above this screaming engine again..... PRICELESS. |
