Danny thanks for that.
yes it is VERY frustrating i asked for help away back in june but very little was forthcoming.
i just dont understand ignition maps at all give me something mechanical and im pretty good
i'm not after someone to write me a map but just enough insite so i can write my own.

In my opinion, you have WAY too much advance there... certainly for a starting map... you say you have to back off to get the revs up, that could be because the engine is pinking away and not producing any power! Without being rude, do you know what pinking / pre-ignition is? If not or if you're no...

Hi Geoff
have tried mr maddocks map and it certainly is better than my first effort!
oh well back to the drawing board then

hi Brent
when out on the road the engine has much less bottom end torque than it did with the dizzy.
i'm also having to back of to get it to rev above 3200-3500 rpm.
its quite hard to watch the laptop when your bouncing about on 47 year old leaf springs!
the map you suggest is for a v8?

well it works but not as good as i had hoped for!
just have to set it up on the rolling road instead.

Hi all
Just had a shot at writing a map to match the timing figures i was given for my engine.
could someone more knowledgeable look it it over and let me know if i'm going in the right direction please.
its a2.25 petrol landrover with a high torque conversion.

thanks

Alexander sorry i dont know the name of these crimps.
mates on holiday for 3 weeks will quiz him when he gets back.

the timing should be 3 deg btdc so im 7 deg out maybe more as i havent strobed it yet.
starting is instant and no choke required .
the tickover is lumpy but the engine doesnt miss or pop as it did before!
all in im well chuffed so far

no joy with ford crimps only come as part of a very expensive repair kit!
My friendly spark gave me some other crimps he had in his box not the same but they fit and it fires up
so im pleased!

just had my motor running in limp home mode.
not bad for a first timer!
it starts on the button and ticks over very roughly but as the timing is at least 7 deg out im pretty impressed !
hope to get the mjlj wired up this week cant wait

Just an update.
friend is a ford tech and he thinks he can get them as part of a repair kit.
watch this space.

Bullocks!!

oh well just have to get handy with the soldering iron

Hi all Newbie question again

looking for the crimp on connectors for the edis module
does anyone know where they are available to buy?
or even the correct name for them?

Thanks
Phil

oh i thought it would be the middle of the tooth that should line up.
i took my reference from the middle of the missing tooth.
would this not be correct?

Thanks
