Now there's a distributor that the advance curve can be programmed on the fly with your smart phone.

Location: So. Cal | Even has an anti-theft kill switch. That's pretty cool. Price isn't cheap though at $530. I think that most people wouldn't know the first thing about what makes a good timing map, and to really do it well, it would need to be adjusted on the fly due to other inputs like vacuum, throttle position, temperature, or boost values. |

| Yeah I think a computer program doing that on the fly is more ideal and getting more than 1 input such as revs, temp, o2, throttle position and so on. Neat but not needed in my opinion. The antitheft is a cool option. If you really want that much control a modern fuel injection system can provide that. A magnetic pickup distributor is a nice cheap upgrade to points. Take it a little further with an ignition box and coil.
Neat but I will be passing on that haha. |

Just another technology "break-through" that fulfills no need.
Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.
(And frankly I'm about done with the whole "I need everything connected to my phone" thing)

Location: NorCal | Opinions vary, I'm probably older than most members here but I embrace new technology.
As far as the "not needed", wait 'til you've you're stuck with an older car with 11-1 compression that needs the advance curve altered. |
