914-4 2L race engine, 10.3:1 compression ratio and twin Weber's
Anyone have experience with the MSD systems on a Type IV? I'm thinking there may be benifits to having the higher spark voltages when compression ratio is relatively high. MSD claims plug gaps of .050 - .060" are possible, and that multiple sparks at lower RPM's improve throttle response. Thus, makes sense, but does anyone have real world experience that support these claims? |
