    MSD distributor connection question

    I must have got it right, the motor fired up and I got about 10 min of run time at approx 2500 rpm before the smoke and fumes from the header pipes got to be too much (even with multiple fans/blowers). I'll get some more run time tomorrow.

    MSD distributor connection question

    I'm running an MSD distributor on my car, 66 coronet, early 70's 400 (408), with early 70's ign/charging setup. Running an aftermarket 4 pin ign cntr mod. To the best of my research abilities I traced out the + and - dist leads from the module, the leads from the distributor are known from MSD...

    Super Coil?

    That's the direction I was leaning in, and after looking at the install instructions again, that's actually what they show as well. I'm going to leave the accel ballast between the coil and the 12v supply, and drop the ballast for the ECU. Thanks.

    Super Coil?

    I believe what they say about the coil sec resistance, I hooked my DVOM up to it and it and a hard time settling on a final reading. This diagram is what I started with. I omitted the fifth wire (on the control unit) since I'm not running an "AUX" ballast (and the instructions said that wire...

    Super Coil?

    Is it possible for me to use my DVOM and check the coils resistance value and then determine the appropriate RB to intall, or is there more that needs to be added to the equation? I'm trying to upgrade the ignition in the car from a 1966 to a 1970 system. I have the correct alt, that isn't...

    Super Coil?

    System overload! All this time I thought you just throw a coil in there and away ya go. Education has taken place, thank you.

    Super Coil?

    This is the elec diagram I'm working from. Trying to adapt it to the setup I have, toggle switch and monetary start button -vs- OE ignition switch. I don't have the volt regulator installed yet, it will be here in the next few days (AC-Delco). From what "G" says it sounds like the accel...

    Super Coil?

    So, here's what I got going on so far. Distributor: MSD 8545 Coil: accel 140001 Ign Conrtol Mod: HiRev 7500 BR: OE style 1.3ohm BR: accel 150001 0.8ohm The car is is being set up for race only, not running a OEM harness, building/wiring this myself. Using a 6 circuit switch panel (with...

    Super Coil?

    I may run into the same issue I have a HiRev 7500 installed, appreciate the heads up.

    Super Coil?

    I will pull that info together, thanks.

    Super Coil?

    Wondering if someone can answer this question for me, I searched and couldn't find a previous thread that did. I'm setting up the ignition on my car 66 coronet, using and electronic system. I have an accel super coil installed and have added the additional ballast resistor that they say must...

    Distributor and Controller Compatibility

    This has probably been asked before, and I'm not an electronic ignition guy however I must ask a question. I have a performance ignition system for my coronet that's good up to 7500 rpm. The system is designed to work with a vac-advance electronic distributor. It's not a mopar unit but the...

    Thanks, downloaded it.

    Electrical wiring theory for race cars.

    "I think" because it's direct current, and since DC only travels in one direction the "dirty stuff" won't contaminate the "clean side" because there are two separate paths, one for the digital stuff and one for the rest of the stuff? The electrons flow out do their work and head back home, they...
