Note: these curves aren't based on US spec cars. This isn't a problem, but it's something you'll want to know if you go experimenting with the 123.

What's really unhelpful is that 123 won't share any of the info on the advance curves. So if you're in the US and you want to actually tune the thing using a method more scientific than trying each curve while the car's on a dyno, you're screwed. Also unhelpful, but less so, that the distributor has to be removed to switch from one curve to the next.

I'd install one immediately if someone could/would provide useful information. Otherwise, it's no more useful than any other Mystery Advance Curve distributor.

Best,
