Reply To: Ignition Timing

Hi David,

Thanks for that info.  I am not looking at going electronic for a couple of reasons. Firstly from the point of view of originality, secondly repairability.

Looking at the figures in the table, the Perfo profile seems to be based on the curves in the Citroen manual.

Are the Citroen curves pre-programmed into the distributor?

I have downloaded the 123 software and loaded the file for the 11 from the list of downloadable profiles. I assume that these are custom ones developed by others. My interpretation of the profile program for the Perfo was correct and is completely wrong IMHO.

I must say however that the idea of being able to create your own profile without springs and weights is very interesting.

Good luck with the repaired head.
