Spout connector

JBIGBOOTSY · April 11th, 2009, 10:00 AM

Is the spout connector just a straight on off remote signal for itming? Is it possible to to put an inline potentiometer to adjust the voltage if it isnt, if so would a voltage reduction reduce the amount of advance? Has any one tried this, if not, does anyone think its worth a shot?

I read in a Ford tech manual years ago that the spout is a resistor and there are different ones that control a different amount of advance. There is a Ford Tech on this site that confirmed that.

It's just a shorting bar, no adjusting resistor in it. All the advancing is done in the PCM.

I agree.. i've seen a paper clip used before when needed

Crane TRC-1 installs on the spout connector. So i would guess that with potentiometer you could adjust timing.
