That one probably hasn't, but there are 'electronic centrifugal advance'
modules. They do exactly what the mechanical ones do and just advance the
timing in a fixed curve according to engine revs. In the case of mechanical
advance this is rotation speed of course, in the case of the electronic
systems it is pulse or spark rate, which is effectively the same thing.
