Re: Spitfire compression (score: 1): Author: Bill Kelly <kelly@dss.com>; Date: Fri, 23 Oct 1998 11:20:32 -0400; Yes, though it's probably better to disconnect the wire from the coil to the distributor.

Re: Spitfire compression (score: 1): Author: Martin Hargreaves <martin@datamodl.demon.co.uk>; Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1998 17:51:38 +0100 (BST); I recently did one on my UK MkIII (1296 cc) and got: Throttle open, dist. disconnected at coil. Any ideas why #3 should be higher? pretty efficiently but looks OK from this, yes? Are these the right; /html/spitfires/1998-10/msg00614.html (8,519 bytes)
