Trying to decide on new ignition.

zepherman · 11-14-2001, 02:12 AM

Here is the deal. Im thinking of getting myself a better ignition. Im working on a 347 but it wont be done until next spring. I really dont know much about ignitions. I was wondering what i could buy and put on my stock motor until i finish my 347, and then use the same ignition for the 347. Ill probably add an MSD distributer when i put the new 347 in. Let me know whatcha think.

THANKS!!!

i have an msd ignition and distibuter in my car...no complaints, i think it runs pretty darn good. my dads using the same msd ignition in his car project too.

Yea the msd seems to be a proven way, everyone that runs them has no problems that i know of, especially running n20, you want to have a good ignition.

hey bosco, looks like a nice setup you have, you ever go to rcr track?

Thanks again.

The "6al" has rev limiters you might want that one, the "6a" is kinda the same, but without rev limits i think, assuming you have an efi setup, the coil will come with the ignition, i have an accell suprcoil bought from autozone, it seems to fire real good, no probs with it.......goodluck
