I'm going to have a go at programmable ignition on a Rover V-8. But will retain the distributor for the trigger etc. So will need to lock up the centrifugal advance mechanism. I have a spare distributor to play with. So as not to re-invent the wheel any tips on doing this?

Make solid links to replace the springs. Mike.

Megajolt ?
If so, why not just go for a trigger wheel ?
(I know, exactly what you didn't want to hear.)
Or even simpler, wire the spring posts together. Mike.
Or do as someone did on a mates Caterham 1700 Xflow and put a blob of MIG weld to fix it in place. Engine ran so much better when it was removed and the engine had an advance curve again.
