Hi Steve this was a clip out of a conversation that two other people had, I
was just questioning the statement that did not make sense to me.
I also have made a john freau phase adjuster, and im running 120 pps and do
see and hear a difference at before the top of the sine and after. But like
many others I don't think it makes much of a difference at higher ppm and
more power. I get about 45 degrees of movement and mine runs and sounds best
at little before top of sine. With only 2 presentation per revolution, it
make a big difference where I charge at.

This doesn't make sense to me. As you stated the firing is the same
regardless of the capacitance. I have a John Freau style phase adjuster. I
have tried adjusting the firing point from nominal and I see no effect. I am
running at 240 PPS. Maybe you would see more affect at 120 PPS.

This is a excerpt of a thread by Ed Sonderman
I had a tuning problem, even when the primary tap was set right where it
should be - according to my calculations. John Morawa pointed out to me
that
I needed to re-set the phase angle on the motor after increasing the
capacitance - which hadn't occured to me.
Ed Sonderman
In the above statement, Mr Morawa stated about needing to re-set the phase
after increasing the tank capacitance
This is a synchronous spark gap they are talking about.
Let just assume that the srsg is set to fire just before peak, how is
changing the tank cap going to change the phase, as it is still firing at
the same phase no matter what size tank cap is used.
Any thoughts, I do enjoy Ed's adventures and documentation,
