Re: Programmable HEI

Finally got time to install. Super simple, set engine at 10 BTDC pull the old one, stab the new one with the rotor pointing towards #1 then rotate dist lining up rotor and a mark on the housing. This phases the rotor. Put the cap on, which looks to be an off the shelf type cap and rotor. Plug the wires in and start the engine. Verify 10 degrees lock down the dist. Download the app, scan for dist and enter pin. Generate a timing map by answering a few questions save and your good to go. I was able to set initial at 16 total at 30 with 15 "vac advance". One thing I like is 16 at idle in park, when I put it in drive it increases to apron 20 to keep idle up. You can monitor what's going on in real time and make adjustments to each condition as you want.

Still playing with it, but overall seems great. I'll continue to update as I put more miles on it, both around town and hwy.
