    This is one of the best tuning tutorials I've seen. So informative and helpful. Would you be able to tune a mild modified 1098 austin a30

    Don’t be tempted, measure what you actually have first, this will then inform you if you actually could benefit from a recurved unit.

    @@ACDodd I was meaning to find out what I have now. There's lots of different ignition curves for MGBs and from what I read the late model cars were set up as much for emissions as performance so even a stock engine can benefit from a performance optimised curve. Maybe I'll just put a megajolt in so I can experiment.

    Your lathe runs nice and true on the 3 jaw chuck. I'd have to use the 4 jaw on my wobbly old turd to cut the seal diameter deeper.

    I still do not understand the difference from the primary sprung and secondary. Dont both weights come out together during rotation?

    Both weights come out at the same time, but only one Spring controls both weights until A certain point is reached where the secondary joins the party
