Progression Ignition, smart phone programmable distributors

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I came across something interesting today, electronic distributors that you program the advance curve with your smart phone.

 

https://progressionignition.com/shop/ols/categories/ford

 

Thought this might be of interest as an alternative to say a 6AL-2 etc.

 

I read somewhere they're manufactured in China but use US electronics with Apple/Android software.

 

Anybody know anything about these?

Never heard of them before but looks interesting and they even have one to fit a rover v8 and the Ford 300. I like the anti theft bit.

From the page...

The Progression Ignition distributor is your all-in-one solution for high performance ignition. This HEI version is CNC machined from billet aluminum. Includes a 65,000 volt coil mounted in the cap.

Features

Ignition timing is adjusted with your smartphone or tablet using the Progression Ignition Tuner App. There are NO mechanical adjustments inside the distributor.
Easy to use! The app will create a custom timing table for you by entering just a few basic numbers.
Tune with a modern style timing table interface. Powerful editing features for expert tuners but easy enough for a novice
Make timing adjustments in real time with the engine running or not
Store as many tables as you want on the smartphone or tablet. Change tables instantly using the app.
Theft prevention feature prevents the engine from starting using the app.
Wireless Bluetooth connection
The internal ignition module maximizes coil current to 8 amps up to 10,000 RPM
Built in Rev Limiter
2.5 bar MAP sensor for turbo and supercharged applications
Timing range of 10 degrees BTDC to 50 degrees BTDC
One wire hookup just like a stock HEI
Distributor gear is compatible with flat tappet cams (cast iron) and hydraulic roller cams (austempered ductile iron). Aftermarket billet steel solid roller cams will require a different gear. Some billet steel cams have a regular cast gear pressed on which is compatible. Check with the cam manufacturer.
