Hi all,
Ok, I have I think now started the path to Dizzyless ignition on the 4.5 V8 , thanks so far to Bill s and Fridge.
I am trying to find the basic ignition maps / advance curves for the following dizzys :
Rover V8 35DM8 (one with the amp behind the coil)
Rover V8 35DLM8 (one with the amp on the dizzy 3.9s etc)
Anyone help ?
If so please PM me or post
ta everso, may the collection of bits now commence !

Use the base timing map in Megasquirt and work from there - that's what I did.
I then bumped up the full advance to 36BTDC and used Lance's "setting up and ignition table" to re-hash it.

Ah. You'd best ask on the MegaJoltLiteJnr forum then.

Hi ya,
Thanks for this.
I am at the moment on a vertical learning curve - with grease applied to sections all the way up, and at the mo I feel as though I am still close to the floor !
Although I am going the megajolt route, I am sure some members here could help me, basically I am looking for dtata, or PC screen dumps to give me a basic number of parameters for a selection of Rover V8, though I have printed yours off too !
ta
So, can others here help me please ?
I need help with members info / dtata on ignition maps, torgue graphs dtaa etc.
So, if you have.:
1. Ignition tables of any sort, ie timing position vs RPM for any engines (V8 3.5 2.9 4.2s 4.6s or specials like mine then please post or PM me and I'll ping over my e-mail.
2. Torque graphs data shetts, again as in the above, for any config engine.
3. Anyone who has done this with megasquirt programmable Ignition(using MAP) then please give me any data such as what you have settings at etc. screen shots would be superb ???
Whilst many V8 rover engines will vary, there should be a consistancy acroos the board to give me a starting (no pun intended) point .....
HELP !
Thanks in advance, maybe I'll soon have a dizzyless programable ignition system soon, with a blinding spark, and waterproof !

Here is a link to setting up a timing table:

It's not Megajolt but should get u started. I am not real familiar with the Megajolt but have you checked the success stories forum?
There used to be a megajolt forum but I haven't seen it for a while. I would also look in the timing and ignition setup forum:
