Why Sensored Timing SHOULD be Selected to Switch to Sensorless Mode

[@MrDavee1]

Owned quite a few old Holdens(Australian) in the past with mechanical distributors. They have a centrifugal weight and spring mechanism to advance the spark from around 5 degrees to 30-35 at max rpm. You could mess with the spring rates to get quicker advance on a tuned motor. Then came electronic ignition where you can map an exact advance curve.

The ones I had back in the 70's and 80's also had a vacuum advance.

That's going back a few years now.

Great advice for general use of esc. For me….. 18deg on the can, sensored only, 90deg of timing 😊. All in 1.5 seconds.

[@RCexplained]

Interesting. That's quite a bit of adjustment.

I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler with a 4.0L straight 6 engine, it has a distributor on it. Do you recommend Smart Sense for speed run cars also as I am currently using sensored only.

[@RCexplained]

Wow I'm surprised that in 1997 they were still around. I would recommend smart sense for all applications until I find a good reason to say otherwise.

I want one of them new diamond circuitry quantum matrix joints

[@RCexplained]

Sounds good to me

Lower turn senrored motors operate better within their useful sensors threshold

[@RCexplained]

What do you mean? I'm using mostly 0.5 or 1.0 turn motors.

[@jtj250]

Does vacuum advance come into play when talking about vehicle distributors??? Rhetorical question...

[@markcole6475]

For optimum fuel mileage on an unmodified street car yes …..vacuum advance on a properly tuned modified engine doesn’t affect much.

I need to have your phone number so I can just message you when I need to know some shit lol. Like for real though, Please create a Minnect profile, I’ll pay for your time… no joke. I don’t know anyone as knowledgeable as you about this stuff
