Tracy,

I have your EC2 controller on my Subaru EA81. It has been sitting for 12 years and I am just now getting back to working on it. It seems to run fairly smoothly on controller A, with just a slight miss at higher RPM's. When I switch to the B controller, the engine runs rough. I checked the gap on the ignition pickups and one is .008" and the other is .017". Could this be causing my rough running B controller?

I miss seeing you at Sun n Fun.

It is the yellow wire on the trailing coil assembly that is the tach drive signal. I never looked at the signal but I used it to drive an analog car tach setup for a 4 cyl. Engine on my first installation.

I would like to use the tach signal from the lead igniter I believe is present on the yellow with blue tracer wire.

Does anyone know what this signal is? Is it a 12volt pulse? How many pulses would represent a complete revolution?

Thanks for any help
