MSD 6a box 8207 SS Blaster coil MSD 8.5 super
conducter wires

Napa MO26 MO28 cap and rotor has solid brass
incerts this multi strik system is hard on caps
they need to be replaced every 8 to 10,000 miles

With this hot system you should also drop 1 heat
range on your plugs Autolite 3923 gap .050 to .060

Better idle and low end I and many others on this
board are all using this setup also will help gas
mileage

glad for the knowledge....a few questions though, with this set-up can you still advance the injectors to +3 degree's? and when you say they go through caps, is that the reason for the napa cap, or do you still have to replace the napa cap as well?


also since you are here, i just finished up the crank sensor mod, and when i sloted the holes, i didnt quite go the 3/8" that it said to on the page you posted in my other thread, instead i notched them just under 1/4" should i go back and add more? will it make that big of a difference?

Get as much movement out of the crank sensor as
you can, be sure you remove the rubber grommet so
it will move over down towards oil filter

Injector sync is not effected by timming

The Napa brass cap will transfer more volts you
can use the reg cap with the MSD also your choice
the brass helps stock ign more than the MSD
