So, as the title says.
Do these multi spark systems work with DJet? If so, are there improvements? I am not looking for more power, but more MPG...more efficient burn. Rich |

Why would you stay with points? It seems an odd mix of new & old technology. How about a Pertronix? Orrrr, doesn't MSD provide an electronic points replacement?
I've been using Pertronix for about 15 months and never had a problem. With MSD I'm told you don't need the tach adapter for the engine to spark correctly (2.0L D-Jet), but you need the adapter for the tachometer to work (kinda makes sense) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . |

From what I have learned about Petronix there is one benefit. Pro...no longer need to adjust points, or set dwell. This is part of a tune up, so its a good time for me to listen to the car and see how things are going. Con, when they die (petronix) you are left stranded on the side of the road with no solution. They cost alot. I can buy alot of points for what petronix costs. It does nothing to improve the performance of the engine, it just eliminates the effort it takes to set up your points correctly. I like doing that. Overall, if I have an issue with my $7 dollar set of points (two per year, so $14 per year), I reach in the glove box, put in a new set, use a matchbook (or even by eye) to set the gap and I can get home to my tools. With petronix..call a tow truck. BTW, I have never ever ever had a set of point leave me on the side of the road...ever. They dont die...they wear out sure...but so do my shoes...I know when the point are wearing out..I can feel the performance degrade. Rich |
