I need to advance my timing but would like to vary the timing advance at various points along the curve. Now I know what you're going to say. Apex-I ITC. I know, but I'm on a budget and don't want to spend that much just for timing advance.
I've looked at other options and I think I've found a solution. MSD offers ignition timing controls but they only retard timing for boosted vehicles needing timing retard at various points during a run. But I don't need timing retard, I need timing advance.
An MSD ignition controller is about half the price of the Apex-I ITC which makes it alot more affordable.
Here's my theory. Just say I crank my distributer and advance timing 10o and set each pot at 10o timing retard. The whole thing should be at stock timing position. Then to advance timing at any particular rpm, I reduce the amount of retard thus allowing the timing to advance.
Have I gone mad, or does this make sense to anyone else? Input please.
