this isnt going to give you much adjustment but would an old style distributor cap not work only thing i can think of is you may have to use the 2 opposite points on it rather than just 1. it would be able to hold the current and you wouldnt have to worry about the "bounce". granted it might not be an ideal set up but it might allow you to test that its working before going into the electronic side of the timing. remember the old KISS saying
