REFLECTOR: Anyone have an ElectroAir Electronic Ignition on an IO-540 or O-540?

[John Dibble]

Are you using the timing ring that attaches to the crankshaft?  I have 
the 1st generation Electroaire and my timing was too advanced when set 
according to the instructions.  You can try a timing light.  Align the 
prop with the desired timing and then using white paint or tape, make a 
second pair of marks on the side.  Tape the timing gun a few inches from 
the marks with the trigger taped.  This way you can view it from a safe 
distance on the side.
