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? |

Pay for shipping and I'll send you an MSD 6A, part number 6200 and a Mallory HyFire, part number 6852M. 0 miles on the Mallory, the MSD (a few hundred miles if that) might have had a ceramic resistor replaced inside when I used it on my Link ECU install 10 years ago. New resistor is like $5 and prints are available via a google search. Thanks for the generous offer, but it sounds like I should pass on it. I respect Mr. Hoffmans's, as well as other's efforts, and will not pursue the CDI/MSD systems. Thanks again, Jim |
