"It's amazing how the spark balancing smoothens the engine recognizable at
idle and how much
power can be gained by selecting the appropriate curve for one's individual
engine."
How was the gained power measured ? Was the initial test on a dynamometer?
Are graphs specific to the Healey engine provided?
How would a user determine from the 16 generic settings the appropriate
curve for his individual engine?
