This looks a really useful innovation, saw it in action on the Junkyard Digs Video “Will an Abandoned C10 Drive 1700+ MILES For POWER TOUR??”

The Progression Ignition Smart Distributor is a modern electronic distributor designed for classic and performance car engines. It replaces traditional mechanical and vacuum advance systems with a fully programmable ignition system, offering precise control over ignition timing and other parameters. Here are some key features and benefits:

Features:

  1. Bluetooth Connectivity: The distributor can be connected to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, allowing for easy setup and real-time adjustments.
  1. Programmable Ignition Curves: Users can customize ignition curves through an app, tailoring the performance to their specific needs and engine characteristics.

Integrated MAP Sensor: Many models include a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor to provide vacuum advance, enhancing performance and fuel efficiency.

Data Logging: The system can log performance data, which can be reviewed later to make further adjustments and improvements.

    Multiple Spark Discharge (MSD): Some models offer MSD capabilities, providing multiple sparks per combustion cycle to ensure more complete fuel burn, resulting in improved performance and reduced emissions.

    1. Rev Limiter: An adjustable rev limiter can be set to protect the engine from over-revving.
    2. Easy Installation: The distributor is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the original distributor, simplifying the installation process.
    3. Built-in Diagnostic Tools: The app includes diagnostic tools to help troubleshoot issues and optimize performance.

    Benefits:

    1. Enhanced Performance: The precise control over ignition timing can lead to improved engine performance, better throttle response, and increased power.
    2. Fuel Efficiency: Optimized ignition timing can also result in better fuel economy.
    3. Customization: The ability to easily adjust ignition curves and other parameters allows users to fine-tune their engine setup for various driving conditions, from street to race settings.
    4. Reliability: Modern electronics replace older mechanical parts, which can wear out and become unreliable over time.
    5. Convenience: Adjustments can be made quickly and easily through the app without the need for physical modifications or specialized tools.

    Applications:

    The Progression Ignition Smart Distributor is suitable for a wide range of classic and performance vehicles. It is particularly popular among car enthusiasts who want to retain the appearance of a traditional distributor while benefiting from modern electronic control. It can be used in:

    Conclusion:

    The Progression Ignition Smart Distributor offers a significant upgrade over traditional ignition systems, providing modern technology in a form factor that fits seamlessly into classic and performance vehicles. With its easy programmability, enhanced performance, and reliability, it is an excellent choice for car enthusiasts looking to modernize their ignition system while maintaining a classic look.
