[Diy_efi] Timing

[Bret Levandowski]

Yes, that is what I meant. I did find someone to help with the spark table. I new at the programming end. dh, since you were a GM programmer, would you be willing to clarify some of the EFI terms (mail to mail)? I have the definitions, but some are poorly worded and don't really describe what the function is doing. Mail me direct if you can help. Thanks,  Ski

The energy to ignite the charge can come from many sources but a significant source is compression heat.  As the compression heat is increased the charge burns more quickly, therefore less advance is required.  But, compression heat is a function of the charge initial volume and that is proportional to the flow into the chamber which is inversely proportional to throttle position.  Vacuum is increased as the throttle is closed for a given engine speed.
 
I'm guessing you meant that Manifold vacuum decreases and carb flow increases.  Remember that as the manifold pressure gets lower (absolute) the vacuum increases.
 
To simplify, WOT requires less timing than part throttle operation.
 
If the vacuum advance on a Chevy is defective the headers will glow from the heat generated by inadequate advance.  Also note that there is no vacuum advance at start when mimimal advance is required.

shouldn't this cause a reduction in vacuum? Therefore
causing a reduction in advance toward base?
