Now, a "tip" for understanding the Spark Instant difference in an engine with "crank-fire" DIS vs "cam-fired" Distributed Ignition.

Lets state a know good value of 36 degrees Advance with the Distributor. (Distributor Triggered)
The same Spark Instant event would take place with a 32 degree Advance amount WHEN a Crankshaft Ignition is fitted. (Crankshaft Triggered)

This result is from Timing Chain/Timing Belt stretch.

Are you sure you're answering the right thread? This guy doesn't have EFI - doesn't even have an electronic distributor... so not sure what you're responding to here.
