What is the ball park cost of the MSD ignition systems that allow one to program the timing curve? Could one of these units be made to work with a twin plug distributor in place of the advance mechanism?
Thanks, Bob |

Just to be clear. We're talking six cylinders, right?

Yes, 2.7RS engine that I am converting to twin plug ignition. I know that some of the MSD ignitions have a programable timing curve but I don't know the details. Any idea what one might cost?

Try Summit Racing or Jeg's (should be able to google it for online address) I don't MSD makes what you are looking for...... If you want to keep the dizzy, I'd go withMegaspark, it can be put together for less than $200 i think........ it is spark only...then the price goes up hundreds of dollars for anything remotely close to it.... |

even MSD online The more extras you add, might as well just go crankfire, More cost effective MSD you can use a retard box , race easier starting, or they make a programmeable advance box. new boxes have adjustable pots ,old ones used the pills. Generic application.200-500 |

I looked into an Electromotive crankfire system but everyone I spoke to about it said it was underpowered and plug fouling would be an issue. Does MSD have an equivalent system with more juice?
I figure it will be easy to modify my current distributor (Bosch 007) to accept a Jaguar 12 cylinder and modified rotor, but I am looking into the best method to modify the advance. I could modify the current mechanism but it would be so much nicer to use something with more precise control. My original system was the Bosch dizzy, Pertronix points, and MSD-6AL idnition box. This car will be used primarily on the street but I want it to go like hell (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Will the MegaSpark give me what I am looking for? Bob |
