    I'm sure several of you have HPX systems. I'm wondering if anyone has done one on a 246. Nick @ Forza has not.

    He's never done a 246 Dino, but suggests that attaching the trigger wheel to the cam over the crank. I'm no mechanic, so, I'm looking for some advice here.

    In as much as the original Dinoplex unit was replaced with an electronic one about 20 years ago, this is probably an upgrade that is long overdue. The current system wil not advance or retard timing, so I'm stuck with a timing compromised system. The HPX has three settings, based on RPMs, for timing, and a rev limited that stages, not just cuts out, the spark.

    So, have you guys done or considered the HPX ststem?

    Just looking for some input. Maybe you 308 guys who have done this have some info that would help.

    I have no experience with the HPX system on a Dino,
    But I would think that you could just install a pickup in the original distributor and augment with the standard pieces like the others have done with the 308.
