Does it?... You're not confusing this for an ECU are you?



Hall Unit located in the N/S scuttle area of a MK1

It's just a transducer that varies output voltage to the sparks... Does not manage any timing or fueling like an ECU would.

I never notice, I get it all the time.

Ahhh is that why there is a green knob on it that turns. Always wondered what that was used for and well I'll try and spell it right from now.

Hmmm, don't think so... there is no human adjustment on it...  not sure what you are looking at.

Scuttle panel left hand side. Ecu holder as its been called. With the big box underneath and there's a strange green knob next to my vacuum pipe that turns. Don't know if it acyually does anything though as I turned it and turned it back. Just to be safe when I originally put the engine in.
