Hi All-
I recently installed a 123Ignition dizzy in my '73 2.0. It apparently can be installed in any of 4 orientations, in 90 degree increments and operate properly when wired to the plugs appropriately.
The d-jet version of the 123 dizzy also has two wires that are used to time the two groups of fuel injection pulses (cyl 1+4 and 3+2). These wires can be connected to the ECU in either polarity, and the "correct" polarity to time/phase the injection pulses seems to depend upon both the distributor orientation, and the wire polarity. Instructions from 123 Ignition show a connector sketch that "suggests" a particular polarity, but I think the correct one also depends on the chosen dizzy orientation, as well as the firing order. (The dizzy can be used in non-914 applications. E.g., with a straight 4.)
I'm an EE. I've been through Paul Anders' ( @pbanders ) very helpful writeups on the ECU and d-jet operation. I've got d-jet schematics. And, I've got a generic (Volvo?) chart purporting to show the injection timing WRT the cylinders (which seems to have a lot of discrepancies with a 914 setup with different firing order.) I've also looked at the injection pulse/spark timing with an oscilloscope (with a high-v probe).
It looks like the orientation and polarity can be adjusted to inject fuel at any of the following times:
1) Inject cylinders 1 and 3 during intake stroke and cylinders 4 and 2 during exhaust stroke.
2) Inject cylinders 1 and 3 during power stroke and cylinders 4 and 2 during compression stroke.
3) Inject cylinders 1 and 3 during exhaust stroke and cylinders 4 and 2 during power stroke.
4) Inject cylinders 1 and 3 during compression stroke and cylinders 4 and 2 during intake stroke.
I think the choice of the 4 options above would affect the dwell time of the fuel charge in the intake runners and might also cause some raw fuel to be sent out the exhaust if a pulse occurs during valve overlap.
Which of the 4 configurations is correct? Is my analysis correct, or did I miss something? Any other advice you can give me?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.
