EDIS advance timing map question

Because I do related stuff at work, I made my own EDIS controller to run a four cylinder EDIS module from a throttle position sensor and the EDIS tach output.
Apparently, other people here are running megajolts of various flavors.
Would someone be willing to share their advance map?
I have a stock A14, and what I've found online says that the stock normally aspirated megajolt advance map runs just fine... but I have yet to find that map online. If anyone has a 2d map they'd be willing to share, I'd love to take a look at it.
Mine has fairly arbitrary limits on map size, but a 10x10 would be a great start.

Thanks for any help or advice.

The stock naturally aspirated profile comes built-into MegaJolt Jr. Lite (it is a dual-purpose map for boosted and naturally aspirated). So no need to download it. However, once you flash another profile onto the board, then it's gone.

More maps can be downloaded:
1. go to http://www.autosportlabs.org
2. click "Ignition Map Library"
3. click your choice
* the "Default Ignition Map" works fine on A-series engines
* the "Datsun 1200" map (on page 3 or thereabouts) is a stock-spec map, definitely not a high-performance map so recurving is needed for best performance (See Spark Curve)

For an optimum A14 horsepower, I would say start with 34 degree total timing (that is 34 degrees when running higher than 4400 RPM. A12 is 32 degrees. But then test it because depending on how your A14 is built and tuned, it may ping, or may do better with 1 or 2 degrees more timing.

Even if not optimum it should run smoothly and no pinging with the default Megajolt map. The factory spark curve is not optimum for horsepower either even if you have a A14T distributor as it (1) has four degrees tolerance built in (so on average it will be off 2 degrees). On the other hand if the specs match up it will be right on. (2) there is some emission control built in even with Japan-market A14 distributors (3) the nature of analog distributor cannot vary the curve at any point desired (it's a compromise/average of the curve wanted). With a 10x10 map you have far more control over the curve than the Datsun engineers did

I used the stock advance curve and put it in manually. Seems to work ok, haven't had it on the dyno or anything yet, still much to do.
