 It is possible to connect a 'delay' unit between the ignition ECU output
 and ignition amplifier input. This would however give the same degree of
 retard across the full rev/boost band which is not ideal but still the
 same as turning the distributor on a 'normal' car. 
 I wonder why they used crank sensors on the UR for ignition timeing rather
 than the hall sensor on the dizz.
 I understand what you are saying though it is not easy.

    I was not aware that a device to retard the ignition timing was 
available. My 1984
Ur with the WR engine has not got any crankshaft sensors as far as I know the 
ignition system being Hall effect all electronic ignition with microprocessor 
control. Crank sensors are not required.
