David

There is good information in the Technical Manual above for the 123 Distributer.

Many of us use them, usually without problem.

It is good that you got the programmable 123 unit via Bluetooth.

You can ask your supplier for the appropriate  advance curves (centrifugal advance and vacuum advance maps) that you can use to programme the unit.

If you need help in that maybe I can help
