Subject: Re: Coil ignition
Thanks Ray. The old mag is static so there's not really a curve in normal use. Just a little manual retard to start and preserve the bendix, then straight up to max advance. I suppose this could be imitated on the distributor by mucking about with the springs controlling the centrifugal weights but I'm no expert and that worries me. Thanks for the URL, this could be the answer.
