Has anyone ever fabricated an adjustable ignition timing set up for an 02 SRX ? I'm just trying to get everything as easily adjustable as possible so when I get on a dyno I waste as little time as possible . I'm Thinking about machining a window in the case to access a micrometer style adjuster plate . Any thoughts ?????
Other than an offset key for the flywheel to change the timing I don't believe there's any other way to do it.

Timing would have to adjusted with a stand alone CDI to change the trigger to fire time and cause a degree shift.
Only product I have heard of is Boondocker makes an ignition retarder that's adjustable. It's meant to pull out timing on a boosted sled but they said drag racers like to use it because they can run and offset key but retard the timing at low rpm.

Now I have to go home and look at things ....... Is the crank trigger not external to the mag on an 02?

I was thinking along the lines of mounting the trigger on a movable plate similar to an old Mallory distributor for a V8

Thats what I have on my 1976 SRX, use to run open fuel class back then. So you could set the timing for race fuel, then between heats switch carbs and bump timing for alcohol

Yes something like that is what I had in mind . I Also wondered about using the adjustment to take out some initial out of an SRX and be able to use a viper CDI with a little tamer total timing number . I like the idea of marking certain timing settings for different applications.

I really like that!
