BTW, I'm aware that a stronger spark with closer spacing makes no sense, but it was what it was. I don't know why either.
Maybe it was dwell time that differed the spark intensity? Spaced farther apart, the sensor would have to be dead center of the magnet to come on and the minutest movement would make it open and trigger the spark upon collapse of the magnetic field?

<hr />It has nothing to do with dwell time in this case. That dwell time would not have changed that much. AT very high RPM it may make a difference...but 9K(about what that enginerun,s at)is no where near 18K or 18,000 RPM. I would say there is no need to talk about dwell time...that will just confuse more newbies! Capt,n
