Tony, regarding the iridium plugs I should have mentioned that opening up the plug gap will increase the intensity of the spark (higher power)...
Tony, Yes, with fouled spark plugs, if the energy doesn't go through the spark gap it will go through the fouling deposits instead. That...
Along with traps, mothballs etc, I leave an open box of Kleenex tissue on the floor of my old cars and travel trailers. Mice will prefer to make a...
Tony, It will help with any type of shunt resistance not just plug fouling such as moisture on spark plug insulators or wires. Any time there is...
lars, Thanks for that. I now have two EEs that believe my theory is correct. Another fellow that repairs CDIs in California was certain it...
Folks, I posted this on a Porsche forum recently and was lambasted for spelling and grammar without much technical feedback which I found...
I think what I wrote was more of a statement rather than a diagnosis, but it got me thinking. If the points are crudding up that badly, I would...
You are right. A CD box can't compensate for a poorly set up or worn out distributor. My point was that a good CDI should only make things better,...
I've speed read through this thread again and there are a couple of things mentioned that simply should not happen with a CDI. (I assume the...
Based on Neal's success with using my CDI retrofit, I have decided that I will do a few more AEC103 retrofits. The price will be a little more...
Mark, Thanks for being the Guinea pig on the retrofit. There are three reasons I won't offer a kit. The first being that very few people seem to...
Tony, The difference is that this is a real CD ignition like the original Marelli AEC 103, although very different in design. Most of...
Freeman, One of the reasons I''m backing out of the offer is that I have to be responsible for the customer's private property and the...
Folks, I have had numerous enquiries over the past 2 1/2 years regarding retrofitting the AEC 103 with a version of my ignition system,...
Lars, Yes we are getting off topic! My point however was that the technology existed long before the Dinoplex was made to produce lighter, more...
Stefan, So I guess the next obvious question is whether an original connector will bolt up to your reproduction box? Fred
lars, Without scoping that power supply to be certain, it will produce a square wave (or mostly square) with rather large leading edge...
Lars, Not trying to be argumentative, but 10 to 20 kHz is quite easy to do with those transistors. They chose to do it that way for...
Hey, That sounds good. I think you will be pleased. Mid May to mid June is going to be very busy for me (my daughter's wedding amongst other...
The more I think about, the damage to the transistors most likely occurs from within the unit rather than without, not that damage couldn't result...
