That's an awesome EFI setup but a little too rich for me and I don't have a lathe to fab the custom stuff.

Thanks,

That's the problem. With mechanical advance the rotor arm also moves relative to the dizzy drive shaft to track the advance curve. When you lock it, the rotor arm has to be positioned (phased) so it covers perhaps 30-50 (crankshaft) degrees of change. It is only actually designed to cope with perha...

I think as long as the distributor is fixed and the rotor is phased right it should never change by adjusting the timing in the MS. Twisting the distributor could affect the rotor phazing and so could where it was originally locked. I'm going to give it a try with the current equipment I have and if...

Then I'd really consider going wasted spark and no dizzy. Correct me if I'm wrong but a wasted spark system on a V8 would require a crank trigger and the addition of at least 4 coil packs (maybe 8 ) and wiring. It seems to me that adding these components to the equation the price of a ms system sta...

You need to decide if you're going to use B&G or Extra code - then stick to only those instructions. You will get very confused if you read both manuals, since they can do the same sort of things in different ways. Personally I'd ditch the dizzy totally and go for wasted spark. That would proba...

Thanks Trakkies Yeah, I've been reading as much as I can trying to sort through the various options for points. It gets a little confusing when one site says to setup for Hall and another says VR. Then one site says to use a pullup resistor to 5 volts when the other says 12 volts. I'm actually think...

Ok Thanks Matt.

Just wondering if anyone else on here has some experience with a MSD Ready to Run distributor and a MS2?

Thanks,

Keith

The distributor should theoretically work with either input circuit. A pull up resistor would not be needed if it puts out a 12 volt to ground square wave. However, I suspect the signal it puts out is a floating to ground signal - in which case you will need a pull up resistor to make that 12 volts...

New and after reading for days I need clarification on triggering the MS2. I'm going to be using a MS2 Ver 3.0 board with a crane or msd box and a msd Ready to Run Distributor. I've read to connect the orange wire from the ready to run distributor to the tach in signal pin 24 and then use the tach o...
