The blue lines indicate the advance curve, and
the red line shows the RPM limiter setting. The
vacuum advance and boost retard are not
shown on the graph, but the programmed
values are shown in the boxes above. If the
distributor is set to one of the “built-in” advance
curves, the values in the boxes will be “grayed
out”, which means that they can’t be changed.
See Screen Shot #2.
If you want to set the distributor to a preset
curve, select the curve from the “Select Curve”
box. Enter the desired RPM limit and vacuum
advance settings, then click the “Send Data”
button. This will transfer the data to the distributor,
then read it back and show the graph to confirm
the transfer. If you want to put in a custom
curve, select “Custom” from the “Select Curve”
box, and click the “Send Data” button. This will
tell the distributor that you want the custom
curve settings, and read the data presently
programmed in. Once the graph shows the
existing distributor programming, you can enter
the custom curve settings you want, then click
the “Send Data” button to update the distributor.
Saving and Opening Distributor Curve Files
In the upper left corner of the EA_Comm
window is the “File” menu bar item. Clicking on
this brings down a menu with a choice of
“Open”, “Save”, or “Quit”.
Selecting “Quit” closes the EA_Comm
application. Selecting “Save” brings up a
standard Windows dialog box that allows you
to save a custom distributor file. These files
have an .ead suffix. The “Open” dialog box
allows you to read a file in. Once the file has
been read into EA_Comm, the graph will show
