ok good, since I put a few hrs into mounting a
worm gear style speedometer drive to my rear
wheel, like I have on the front wheel,  then I routed them
so that the arm from wheel front drive trips a contact that
selects distributor "A", and when drive arm (rear) exceeds
the revolutions of "front" it trips a second set of contacts
to select my second timing curve,  kind
of like the manual variable boost controller, that uses linkage
to manipulate the wastegate, "after" WOT

glad I dont know much about electronics, that would be cheating
