Thanks Marko. I'm taking the car to pick the boy up, from Sydney,
[about 2400Km round trip] probably Tuesday.

From what he tells me about his recovery, he should be able to play
with it later next week.

The thing is OK, but this gives me the expectation we might just get
it right. Then we will have the laptop to tune it om a dyno.

too bad you cant adjust the spark for individual cell.

you can just move the whole distributor curve up and down,

Marko, I have news of the Haltech tuning, & I'm afraid it's all bad.

We found a laptop on XP, & my son got all the haltech programs onto it. Like you advised, he could work through everything off line, & thought he had it.

However, when connected to the haltech, it first gives, "downloading information' but after a few seconds it reads, "reconnect Haltech". He spent the best part of a day trying to get into the damn thing, but still no success. He had to go back yesterday, for medical treatment, so no further advanced.

I have a computer "expert" coming on Tuesday morning to set up a network for my wife, so with any luck he may be able to get into it. I say luck, as I sometimes find experts know just a little more than me, & far from enough to be proclaimed as experts.

I'll let you know how we get on.

I second that so true. As a computer serviceman I never claimed to be an expert but knew enough to get the job done or at least find the answer and understand it enough to get the job done. Fixed a lot of computers screwed up by "experts".
