Considering a new distributor for your classic Mini? Pros and Cons of Powerspark, Part 2 of 2 

I have a powerspark unit to recurve this week and will try to get some footage along the way. Thanks for watching

Whats appropriate is what fits into the block. A series can have the 25D or 45D. A+ has 59D or 65D. The powerspark units are appropriate for all engines. I recurve them to suit the application.

@@darrensrestorations991 i think the point to be made is the curve needs to suit the application ie cam profile and compression ratio and any applicable emission regs

@@Bristolcentaurus yep, that what I am doing.

Thanks for continuing to watch my channel. I do have an original Lucas 45D restoration video coming after the red mini series is finished.

Its been a great addition to my book collection. Thanks

Thanks, that was very informative. The remaining challenge is now “how to pick an appropriate target curve when the engine is not 100% stock, and to better reflect modern fuels”.

@@ah1472-u5h Any change to improve an engine will change its ignition requirements. However there is a limit in that air and fuel can only fill the cylinders so quickly. For a truly perfect timing curve, you must test how much advance an engine can take at various rpm points.

@@darrensrestorations991 How much would a tuner charge to find the optimum timing curve for a particular engine and also , included in the cost of setting up the dizzy timing to match please ? I would assume a dynamometer would be involved , or could an exhaust sensor system be relied on to get the spark timing close enough ? Cheers and I subbed as your video really impressed me and taught me stuff .
