Yes and no. By extending the dwell angle on the old Kettering systems an increase in economy could often be observed. I built and sold a few devices to do just that. It was a sort of "spark fattener" if you like. Market research indicated that it appeared to work on about 50% of the vehicles that it was fitted to. (installed on 50 likely vehicles) Some people drove for economy with the device fitted, some put the boot in. I never sold them commercially because 1. I couldn't rightfully claim that it would work. Sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't. 2 The newer vehicles all had electronic ignition which of course made them redundant 3 My time was worth more than I could sell them for. Cheers Jim
