What size resister to retard timing?

I would like to know what resister size I should use to hook up to the Air temp sensor so I can reduce the timing when on the juice.

Thanks

Re: What size resister to retard timing?

It is going to depend on your air temperature, but to get you into the higher part of the curve without boofing the circuit adding a 6.4 kohm resistor.

I think that is what I am using right now with an inline relay connected to my arming switch. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I determined mine by measureing the resistance of the IAT at different temperature points then trending it.

Good Luck,
