Knocker sensors

[Bill Edgeworth]

Thanks for the info Peter,
This is a concern for me as I am still thinking about the roller after
reading an article where on an engine with less breathing ability than
mine it picked up 4/10ths over a 509
and for the price of a good 3 bolt timing set I might as well buy a gear
set.

Where could I find some info on this signal conditioner? Some people
resopnded saying that it is taken care of in the software????? I would
think that using a HC11 for signal processing would take up way to much
processor time.

Regards,

Bill
