1. Distributor/Ignition Question (score: 1): Author: "Bill Miller (LBC's)" <lbcs@earthlink.net>; Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2006 12:54:08 -0400; My MGB has a 24D Distributor with an after market crane "helicopter" type ignition in lieu of points. I need a new distributor. Can I/Should I buy one of those $135 new 45D's on eBay? Will the crane; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00121.html (6,713 bytes)

RE: Distributor/Ignition Question (score: 1): Author: "Bill Miller (LBC's)" <lbcs@earthlink.net>; Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 20:10:33 -0400; I am pretty confident that the curves are either entirely wrong or sticky. The vacuum advance is also suspect. I have adjusted and readjusted it and adjusted and readjusted the timing again and again; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00150.html (7,271 bytes)

I have no idea what 'helicopter' ignition is but I doubt it is adding much, properly maintained points ignition should be fine. RBs had 45Ds, one of; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00169.html (8,419 bytes)
5. Distributor/Ignition Question (score: 1): Author: "John DiFede" <difejo@frontiernet.net>; Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 18:46:49 -0700; I have used the Crane electronic ignition conversion and transferred it from a 25D into a 45D. It will work in both distributors. As Paul H. stated, for any performance gain you need to get the advan; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00194.html (7,372 bytes)

Re: Distributor/Ignition Question (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <max_heim@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 16:12:27 -0700; I have heard that 32 degree figure before, but it seems to me that when I was looking at the workshop manual for the 18GB specs, it stated total advance was 40 degrees. I don't recall what RPM. Need; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00196.html (7,902 bytes)

Re: Distributor/Ignition Question (score: 1): Author: "Paul Hunt" <paul.hunt1@blueyonder.co.uk>; Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2006 09:50:47 +0100; Well, it's easy to switch between the 16 different curves with the 123, but there is nothing to say that any of them will have the optimum curve for your engine on today's fuels.

My point was that the *original* curves are pretty irrelevant unless one is running; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00206.html (8,925 bytes)
11. Re: Distributor/Ignition Question (score: 1): Author: "Bob Donahue" <bobmgtd@insightbb.com>; Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 12:56:24 -0500; It would be keen if someone developed an electronic distributor with an 'optimized' curve. I'm sure the original curves were compromises. There's only so much you can do with springs and diaphragms.; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00212.html (10,499 bytes)

Re: Distributor/Ignition Question (score: 1): Author: "Paul Hunt" <paul.hunt1@blueyonder.co.uk>; Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2006 10:43:02 +0100; A nice idea, but you would probably need most of the 16 variations to cover the different engines, even more if you wanted to take into account different fuels people might have access to.

By varying the static timing the whole curve will be raised or lowered, not only the starting point. I think that is what you wanted to say as; /html/mgs/2006-08/msg00237.html (8,656 bytes)
