....So distributor shaft is at engine RPM x2 since it does 1/4 revolution for distributor each piston stroke? Nope. Distributor turns at 1/2 crank speed - One ignition event every 180 degrees. Remember; it's a 4-cycle, so it takes two complete engine revolutions for all four cylinders to fire. Mike's numbers & mine look different because he's looking at individual ignition events, & I'm looking at the low-voltage side of the ignition coil= .. Adjusted for RPM, it's the same deal.
