Tunable 123 ignition

See here.
Also available for several Mercedeses, don't know what about our cars.
The manual speaks about the 0.231.116.051 distributor wich is believe is a common used distributor in our cars.

I fitted 123 Ignition on my 220S (1957) and it works very good.
Only had some trouble at the begining because I had only 5 sparks of 6 expected.
But they have a very good after sales service and I found that one magnet was baddly installed in the HES, North and South swapped.
They sent me a new one and since then, I forgot about ignition...

Yes, there are more members who are satisfied with the 123-ignition, including me.
The 123-ignition i am pointing at in the first post is somehow an improved version.
You can hook it to a laptop or so and finetune it with a piece of software.
No idea if it's a benefit for our cars, but i like the idea very much.

The SL specialist in the Netherlands, van Dijk in Lisserbroek, did install the 123 Ignition last saturday in my 280SL.

I guess the challenge for me in getting one of these programmable 123 units would be in understanding enough to be able to actually make use of the programming feature effectively. For me the 'basic' unit is already good enough and I wouldn't really know how to improve on it further.

I would like to learn to program the 123 ignition.   What program do you use and is there any good primer on it?
