123ignition for early 230SL
« on: September 15, 2009, 07:35:19 »
Hello,

has anybody in this forum made experiences with the 123ignition in an early 230SL, 1964, with distributor 0231 116 046 ?
There is a lot of people with 280SL, who replaced the distributor 0231 116 051 , they use curve nr. 8 and their experiences are pretty good.
For the distributor 046 you should use curve Nr. 6.
But it says, that max ignition is 30 degrees already at 2300 u/min !!!!  Is not it too much/too early ? Because you should have 30 degrees only at 3000 u/min.
Klaus from the german pagodentreff forum adviced me to take curve nr. 5 (for 220SEb)

thanks for informations Franz

Ziggy

I'll have to look it up but I coded this to factory specification.
Did Klaus have problems with #6?
