Lets us be sure that the trailing plugs fire at the same time or later than the leading plugs. Never before the leading plugs. Very bad Mojo.

It is funny how you can gain more confidence each time you do something.

Yesterday, I repeated the "locate TDC by finding the null spot trick".  This time it was so obvious where the null was that I went ahead and put a permanent mark on the timing wheel. 

Then I hooked up the timing light and got some measurements.  The backup controller that will be firing the trailing plugs is sitting about where it should be...25* BTDC.  The primary pickup is way off, giving me somewhere around 35*BTDC.  I'm wanting it to be at 20*.  Aargh!  I moved it to far in the wrong direction when I added in the extra advance above the EDIS limp-home mode's 10*.

I've got to go out of town, but the first job when I get back is to make an "adjustment" to my VR mount.
