123 distributor curves

[Dci_Carter]

Morning all, does anyone have a 123 distributor fitted? If so can you share the settings you use, I've brought one but runs rough. Refitted original and it's spot on?

Haven’t got a 123 but done a fair bit of research on curves recently. After finding my original had a missing advance spring…
Curve E has a lot of mechanical advance 30 deg…
If you think standard dizzy you would time to 7.5 deg and wouldnt want much more than 31 deg at 3.5k+ Vac disconnected. So want more like 23 -24 deg max.
I would have thought curve 9 would have been a better bet

It was tuned on a rolling road and suits my engine.

I’m running #9 on mine. I can only compare it to the 009 dizzy that was on there previous, and it has nicely got rid of the low-RPM hesitation that I used to experience when pulling away. Very happy thus far with it, and it was nice and easy to get it initially running and then set the maximum advance.
