Lean burn distributors have two pickup inside them. The ideal was, to 
change the timing(crudely) to help with emissions, and starting.

The performance application, is to run a lean burn dist, and have the 
system wired to be able to manually switch between the two pickups. One 
pickup has the timing retarded, for instance, if you were running 
nitrous, you could wire the retarded pickup to be activated with your 
nitrous, thereby reducing the timing to prevent detonation, but alowing 
a bigger shot of the spray.

There is also a starting benefit, but I dont recall the details. I 
beleive it is running the advanced pickup to start the engine easier, 
then switching over to the retarded pickup which is set at your desired 
timing spec. I beleive this was for car with radical cams, but my 
memeory is a bit vague.

But either way, if one were to use this type of set up, you would NOT 
use the lean burn computer. This was the source of many runing/starting 
issues with the lean burn cars. The computer tech wasnt up to the task 
in the mid to late 70's. The pick ups in the lean burn dist look and 
perform just like a std elec. dist, its just that there are two of them.

I think the pick ups are set either 4 or 8 degrees apart, I cant 
remember. Its a cheap an effective way to retard or advance your timing 
form inside the car. Its really a low tech way of doing it, I wouldnt 
suggest it unless your combo requires it for reducing detonation. 
Normally, a properly set up std elec. unit will do nearly all tasks 
asked of it.

Help out any?
