I've a '74 2.0L which is running a MSD6A ignition system and I just bought (not installed yet) a MSD Distributor to replace the stock unit. The car is running 96MM big bore kit from EBS racing, dual 44MM weber's and a MSD Blaster II coil - etc...
Has anyone got some recommendations on the advance spring settings for the MSD 8485... Also what about the sheet metal around the distributor am I going to have to cut to make it fit ? The car was running well with the optical pick-up (Crane 7000) but I guess I'll pull that out when I install the new distributor - Sounds like a good winter afternoon project ..... |

I changed my springs on Friday...takes about 3 minutes start to finish....no need for instructions...well if you insist (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) remove cap, loosen the 5/16 nuts on outside of case, the metal plate w/optics can now be removed...... with a pair of needle nose pliers remove the 2 pre-installed springs, pick out new springs of choice (grey/grey recommended) and install new springs, check advance curve with tool supplied.....assembly is reverse of take down procedure |
