Well I finally got a chance to get out in the garage and putz with the MSD/Pertronix set-up and after about an hour of wiring and checking and double checking and triple checking it runs!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't got the tach hooked up and I know the timing is probably way off but it starts, idles and revs pretty good. Thanks for all the input on getting this thing (actually me) figured out. Now I gotta go figure out the tach and get it timed. Then it's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) |

I have a 911 tach dated 1971 & it works without an adaptor. Black/purple wire. JP, unfortunately I have a car that has the wiring hacked together so color is not something I can use as a reference. I believe I have the tach wire isolated but I'm getting different recommendations as to whether or not I should see 6v at the input. |

Finally!
Everything seems pretty well dialed in and the car goes like stink. For you guys running carbs with the solex cam, is it normal for the motor to have a somewhat lumpy idle up to about 2k? Once past the 2.5k mark it tries to throw me out of the rear window... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) |
