CARBURETION and your Large/Small port 16V 4AG

To adapt a new ignition system or another dizzy is FAR more work than to tap each manifold runner and supply the map sensor with a map signal.

Even if you do not run a TPS (which is nothing more difficult than a 2 bolt clamp affair if you want to bodge it), the Ecu will still send out a more advanced ignition curve than a dizzy with advance weights will.

The whole point of carbs, or rather 1 throttle per cylinder is increased torque and bhp correct. So what is the point in taking electronic ignition off and replacing it with something that will reduce the area under the torque curve.

It all just sounds silly to me, not that i am being rigid, maybe just sensible.

Plus i dont see how you can even skip over the whole 'free' part of using the stock ecu.

There are indeed plenty of ways to skin a cat, but if you have an automatic cat skinning machine, whats the point in taking out flint stone and start making a splint that is sharp enough?

the question is which method would actually be the one making the flint stone...

again, there are plenty of answers that will fill in the blank to the ignition problem. if by all means you say a hamster and your sisters bra knock yourself out. i don't know if i would agree that your solution would be any quicker than the few that i used as suggestions. do me a favor and tell me if you can do what you suggested with tapping each runner, and setting up the TPS to working and running order within 2 hrs it took to install a 6al, tach adapter, coil blaster and timing "computer" plus the @5 minutes to set the timing set. this included soldering and running the wires in a neat and orderly fashion. either way works i'm sure. i never disbelieved either that the gts ecu could produce a better curve.

this is boring.
