REFLECTOR: Exhaust systems

[Mike Pollock]

I do time the Jeff Rose to 0 degrees with the vacuum and mechanical advances
disabled per Jeff Rose's instructions and an induction timing light works on
those unshielded wires.

Mike

P.S. We get no RPM loss on mag check when running the Jeff Rose EI with
vacuum and mechanical advances enabled and the MAG off.

But if you are trying to time the Jeff Rose, non shielded wires are used and
your induction pickup should work.  The key will be disabling the "vacuum"
and "mechanical" advances so that you can get a static timing reading.

Again, give Jeff Rose a call if you haven't already - he should be very
happy to help you - I got lots of info from him in just two phone calls.

| perhaps you could temporarily swap out the number one plug wire for an

| You will not get an induction type pickup timing light to work with
shielded

will

| My EI uses regular automotive ignition wires. You just clip the sensor
| over the wire.
|
