Re: Spark-Lever Posistion
The phillips spark advance (nurex) works on the same principal,and is effective.I prefer the function in the distributor,it makes any maintenance required easier.

Re: Spark-Lever Posistion
How so. The Nu-Rex operates on a Gyro. There is no "maintenance" unless it breaks, which i doubt will happen. It is bathed in oil being splashed around the valve chamber so no need to lube.

Re: Spark-Lever Posistion
50% of the advance will make my engine over heat!

Re: Spark-Lever Posistion
How so? You dont have to tear the valve cover off and remove the distributor if you have a problem..both systems work on centrifugal force,both work well,good luck with your phillips.

Re: Spark-Lever Posistion
The mechanical advances do not respond to load unless they also have a vacuum diaphragm to retard timing when the vacuum drops relative to load.

Re: Spark-Lever Posistion
You are correct. That is why I set my initial timing retarded so I can manually retard the timing when going up a steep grade. With the Nu-Rex/Phillips you retain your timing lever.

Re: Spark-Lever Posistion
It is such a simple thing to adjust the spark as needed. A little know-how and some common sense is all that's needed. I'd say if someone can't figure it out, they should stick with a Toyota.
