BREEZE1 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Will a HO dizzy work on a renix ejection system and block, and vise-versa?? Also has anyone ever shaved the ears off of one to adjust the timing?? Any luck?? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The timing is not adjustable. It is completely controlled by the computer. Also, I'm 95% sure the HO and Renix distributors are not interchangable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpackjeeper Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It is not adjustable on my ho. I turned the dizzy around like 30deg with no result. The computer can compensate for a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BREEZE1 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 I guess i could change it with an msd boost retard box! :doh: Nothing is cheap these days!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BREEZE1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Well if I shave the ears on my renix dizzy will the renix computer compensate for the distributor being in a different position? :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Well if I shave the ears on my renix dizzy will the renix computer compensate for the distributor being in a different position? :help: No, it won't. When the injectors and the ignition fire are controlled by the CPS. The only thing turning the distributor housing does is assure that the rotor is actually aligned with a turret when the ignition fires. That's normally not needed with a stock engine, but some aftermarket cams don't have the distributor drive gear aligned correctly and that makes it necessary to cut off the ears and "index" the distributor housing.

aemsee Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 We used to index the distributor on high mileage motors that showed signs of timing chain stretch. I had (still have) a dist cap with a window cut out at #1 terminal. Remove the ears and align the tail of the rotor with the post. We did this to correct misfires and bucking. Always seemed to work.
