I have been thinking about how to set up timing control and I wanted input on an idea.
Is it possible to use my current distributor with a speeduino board to simulate vacuum advance? Keep the centrifugal advance, but implement the vacuum advance based on map input, with the speeduino changing ignition timing based on vacuum, and the distributor advancing based on rpm. Is it possible to set an ignition curve that will not be thrown off by the varying position input, or is this not possible with the way ignition timing is calculated?
I have an electronic pickup in the distributor that will give 4 pulses. I know it's not the optimum setup, I'm more interested in will it work functionaly with the programing than what would work better. I'm not looking to squeeze out every ounce of performance, just trying to make it run reliably.
Just an idea, would appreciate some input.
