MSD6AL ignition - This was added for several reasons. The multi-spark ignition feature should help the car perform better. The rev limiter will help avoid potential problems during hard acceleration, particularly if I do manual shifts.
Coil - MSD Blaster 2 cloil, part number 8202 |
|
Distributor - Mallory Billet Competition distributor - Series number 84. DIST, CHEV V8 MP 208M CAP, part # 3248201
The distributor curve was set up by Bruces speed shop. The initial timing is 18 degrees
This distributor cannot be used with just a coil. It requires the use of a capacitive discharge ignition system. This must be used with suppression type wires (carbon core, suppression core, spiral core, etc.) |
