 Re: 1-2-spark
but if you put it in any other vehicle, other than A-type 2 cilinder, you almost surely will have to 'tweak' the settings!

 Re: 1-2-spark
This will be for a 4 cylinder with a distributor, so that should work with the one from the 205.

 Re: 1-2-spark
yes I understuud that, but every engine (even if they are the same type) will have different optimal settings, also every engine (especially if it is a different type; manufacturer) will have a different point where it will start pinking; detonating (not sure if it is the correct word)
so if the 12-spark isn't set for your car, it will have to be tuned (at least this is my opinion, but Geo will be able to confirm if this is true)

I need to find a cheap crappy Windows laptop then (lots to choose from  ) - any ideas  My ignition will run out of the box, but at your Simca it is tricky so the best would be to tune it with a laptop.... if neccecary. You can put it in and when it runs well leave it (check your coil if it doesn't get hot) and check for pinking/overheating the engine. You can always buy a laptop afterwards if you need the feel for tuning. The same story for the M4 engine. But when using a black 2cv coil or yellow Harley coil you don't need to check the coil.. Just check on pinking, or overheating the engine (do to much advance).

 Re: 1-2-spark
Just got to get my head around the sensor pickup.
Do I need to weld a metal tab onto one of pulley wheels and then place the sensor to pick up this metal tab. How does the sensor work?
Sorry for being a bit thick here.

Sorry for being a bit thick here. Yes you need to weld a metal tab onto one of the pulley wheels, but it has to be at the crankshaft, otherwise the speed isn't right. The VR sensor is a sort of dynamo, when the pickup passes the sensor a litlte current is made by the sensor and this is send to the chip.... Speaking in your therms it is like a bicycle speedometer, a tab is attached to the a spoke the sensor to the fork.............  Take some pictures of the engine and I will look at it....
