I've a '74 2.0+ runing a set of 44 Webers - MSD dissy and MSD6 control box - and I wanted some help with set up - I've been reading here about what people recommed for set-ups and I wanted some more opinions which on this site should be easy to get...
I'm running NGK BP5E S Plugs currently gapped @ 0.40 is that about right ? Webers - 36mm venturies - F11 - 140 Mains - 200 A/C - 55 Idles Main fuel inlet needle jet is a 175 - I've tried 50 idles any they don't work well on the fuel up here in Canada - I live in Calgary AB which is about 4500' - 6500' depending on the weather... I've seen people saying they are runing about 12 degree initial timing with a 29 max advance timing - I haven't changed out any springs or bushings in the MSD dissy yet..Most people are running the mallory when you put int he grey/grey springs what kind of a torque curve does that give you as I can match with the springs form the MSD - is the grey/grey combo the fastest spin up / medium etc... Any help would be appreciated... Other info on the car if it's needed - 96mm big bore kit from EBS racing -, aux oil cooler, high output oil pump, CB perfromance hex bar linkage, MSD Blaster 2 coil with 8mm Jacobs leads, Help anybody ? |

I bought the MSD 'cause I had the MSD6A control box and it plugged right in...I wans't sure if the Mallory would have...the only pain was changing the terminal boots on the plug wires..and it's a really tight fit....
I haven't fired it up yet that's why I checking settings...the MSD has an advance bushing stop which tops it out at 29 - and fouor differnet springs - the fastest spin up is the light silver set - I should have it up and running this weekend...finally it's been a long winter... I installed the cooling flaps (missing when I bought the car) and theromstat...and since the tin was all off I repainted and straightened etc...rereouted all the wiring...fuel lines and now I have to go through the carb set-up again because I changed the linkage around a bit... Other than the new Dizzy at least it was just labour not a huge sack of $$$ |
