Put a Mallory Dizzy on order. Quick simple nice transaction.
Now I need a better coil that will go with the dizzy and my Mallory 6A ignition box. 8mm Magnacore plug wires. any suggestions? 8.0 compression and will be going up. .500 lift 300 duration cam, 40IDF's 32 mm vents, tall intakes, Tangerine EVO 5/8" header with silencer. engine will be balanced, and already has dual valve springs so I want to rev it. HARD! If you recommend Bosch blue please justify your reason. |

Joe, Thanks for the order for the Mallory... It may be able to leave today if I get a chance to curve it.
I would recommend the Mallory coil that we offer, OR the regular Bosch Blue coil, either of which will work fine with the MSD. You will need the ballast resistor wired in line to use the Mallory coil though.. call me if you have questions... |

joe, why not get the msd anti-vibration coil? consider getting the aurora wires from aircooled.net if jake doesn't stock them. they have the right tin seals and are priced pretty sweet. when i got mine they weren't listed on the site and i had to call. aircooled that is, not the type4store. do you/are you going to carry them jake?
re the ballast resistor jake. my car seems to run just fine with the dist i got from dave, who bought it from you. i have the A6 box set up too. dave didn't mention the resistor. perhaps it's there and i don't know it. when you have a moment i need to speak/communicate with you about the cam/lifter, pushrod selection so i can wrap up parts pile and get off my ass. k |

Ballast resistor when running a 6A box?? Hmm where did I put that instruction book for the Mallory box. As I see it both + and - terminals from the doil come off the box not the 12V switched power of the car.
12V switched power now goes to the red wire of the Mallory box. |

Thanks That was my gut feeling about coils. I seem to get lots of time above 5K RPMs . (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
Got to love them Autocrosses. |

Joe I ran a bosch blue coil with a ballast resistor on my car for two years without a problem. I took the car to 7K on a regular basis with no sign of a miss. I was running MSD wires and NGK plugs.
If you want this coil it is your for 20shipped. |

No Thanks,
Just got the same coil as Aaron. 55,000 volts. That will keep it lit. |

FWIW, you need to change the coil plug wire end..... no biggy, it comes with the coil. here is mine all setup... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1136686329.jpg) i mounted the coil on the firewall, and on its side (so water wouldnt get into the connector.....) note the HEI style plug wire on that end |

Sweet. Good thing Magnacore sent me a longer coil wire too.
I bet the HEI connector is probably a good idea with 55,000 volts Hey hold this for a second while I crank it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) |
