The man got to the track minus stockcar last night. Too late to do much about it he investigated a bit of a rumble, turned out to be a munted front bearing in the gearbox and a cracked case - bugger!

As for the last couple of posts i think i'll start by going over this week with my timing light and make a TDC mark on the ballancer and see how much....if any...advance its getting and go from there - i really don't feel like rewiring it but what the hell if its gotta be done, mind you it was wired up by a pro auto electrician

the aussie guys used to just run module only and lock the timing at 28 degrees by moving the cas bit dodgy really

what you saying us aussies are dodgy ???

I'll go back to the original topic.
I've just started on spark only into the 808 on my 351 Cleveland.
It has an reluctor type distributor which I have removed the mechanical and vacuum advance from today, it has a small and large lug from the reluctor and them marked A & B, hopefull small is negative and large is positive as per Holden202's post elsewhere.

Things I have so far are:
* Distributor
* 808
* Camira wiring
* MAP Sensor

Things to get
* Camira ignition module
* Camira ignition coil

Next step is to fit it all, modify a 4cyl netres as per other posts for a V8 and modify a bin.
Was thinking originally to base of a 5 Litre spark map and adjust ref angle to 10degrees.

Is there anything else I need to get started?
I know VSS, TPS, ECT and IAT would be nice, but at this stage would just like to get it to run and I can set the spark changes in the ECT and IAT all to zero.

sounds like you've pretty much covered all the bases

although a holden v8 spark map might be too good for a ford

Thanks Holden202.
I agree with the spark map, but I have to start somewhere.
Will let you all know how I go, I'm sure there will be plenty more questions.

i think the spark table will be fine, i was just having a go at the ford

I have been running my 360 Chrysler V8 with igniton only for 12 months now without any problems, using the setup you intend using.

Hope the information below is of use to you.

Below is a link for the wiring diagram that i have used.

And the current bin file that i am running(LPG tune).

Mechcano,
Thanks for your input, it is much appreciated.
So far have managed to get the camira module mounted to the distributor and wired up.

Initially I'll try without the coolant sensor, but plan on getting a later model thermostat housingt that has provision for a sensor on it.

If your map is set for LPG it's proabably has a bit too much advance for me, but I'll compare it with a Holden V8 and see.

Thanks again,
yoda69

Here is a a bin more suited to petrol.
and the XDF file to suit.
