megasquirt trigger angle question - 09/15/19 01:44 AM
running megasquirt 2 on a 5.9 magnum.
I just changed the distributor, because the old one seemed to be failing when it got hot.
however even lining everything up, the car didn't fire up correctly.
I followed the instructions to set initial timing and found that the off set changed from 9.1 to 35 degrees.
I read megasquirt doesn't like angles from 15 to 50.
so I am confused on what I have to do to fix this.
Am I leaving the distrbutor in place and shifting plug wires over one?
And that should reduce the off set?
and clockwise?
Turning the distributor shouldn't make a difference, or have I got that backwards?
