Let's get down to basic...Horsepower!!
Tony China:
What John Connaly said is what we all "knew", but to me it sounds like you want max advance from idle to peak. I can not understand that this can be correct.
Jon:
I have read the Connoly text before and that's how I intend to set up my Magneto.
What John C fail to mention is that the magneto has a series of weights, and therefore has a fine "resolution" in lack of a better word, to allow a curve following the curve you find by locking up the distributor.
As Connoly says... with conventional tuning of distributors you are lucky to hit optimum performance once. With a "designed" curve you can get much closer to optimum, for a longer period of time... even if you just actually hit optimum one time in that case to.
Both he and you SOB talk about the rod ratio in relation to this... does this come down to the way the piston turns, that gives the "snap" in the intakes... (that provide excellent "signals" to the carbs) like we have talked about earlier SOB?
And remember guys, I guess most of you know it already, not all detonation can be heard over the engine noise... as Clyde Berg once yelled over at Cal-look.com :-)
