Model A Ford – (1 of 3) Automatic spark advance
Warning: No Model As appear in this video. If you need an actual Model A in your video, wait for part 2. This video explores the background of the WIlliams/Phillips/Nu-Rex Automatic Spark Control device, the first centrifugal spark advance you could buy for the Model A (way back in 1930). We look at how spark timing works in general, what an automatic advance device for the Model A needs to do, and how exactly the Nu-Rex version of this device works. Link to the engine animation: https://www.stefanelli.eng.br/en/otto-cycle-four-stroke-motor/ In part 2 (coming soon!) we'll test the Nu-Rex Automatic Spark Timing System in a 1929 Model A to see what sort of real-world timing curve it produces.
