Ron and flatjack: (in purple)
Here is what the tech. info. in the Stromberg add says. Does it make sense in relation to your valid question re: tuning the Stromberg E-Fire Electronic Distributors
They make it sound like you just "dial it in" on the distributor using their timing adjuster on the side of the distributor. Does that make any sense?
Here's the add:
Stromberg E-Fire electronic distributors actually look like they rightfully belong on your traditional flathead motor. They feature a simple, built-in electronic ignition. No points, no condenser, no black or red box, no maintenance--no worries. These crab-style units bolt on like a stocker with a black cap, and they're easy to properly install with just two wires to your regular coil. Order a Stromberg E-Fire electronic distributor for your Ford flathead and bolt it on—it works straight out of the box!
