Electronic ignition ignition wires-the truth?

if you want to learn about what's happening under your cap you need to do this.
then you can set your rotor fazing to match your advance curve. that's another topic . I think MSD has some cool videos on rotor fazing . Great to watch and understand what I was talking about earlier

I bought one of these from CB a while back just to play with . really not for me as im locked at 26 deg and only pull 4 deg but if you say run 8 deg at idle and a full 34 deg it may help .

now take a look at the quality between the original MSD and the CB unit . no comparison , you get what you pay for , its thin , bendy and flexes but ok for testing , I would unscrew the brass foot and retrofit to my MSD cap or just making my own if needed .
not to poo poo it just showing the difference , ok for street but would not use it under high cylinder pressure operation

YES! I have a similar version of a cut out Bosch cap so I could see that exact thing!

It's how I figured out that there were rotor to post gap differences. As I noted I am also making a little rotor to to measure the out of center difference easily as well....because its not just the shaft .....maybe....being out of center. There are slight differences cap to cap. Ray
