MSD Ignition help
 

Hi All

I have a MSD 6AL ignition in my car and was wondering if I could use the stock ignition wires (spark plug leads) with it. I checked Wayne's book but it's unclear about this.

I have a custom set of MSD super conductor wires on the car at the moment but I'm not completely happy with their fit and operation. I'm considering going to a Magnacore set (from our host) but I would rather use the stock ones as I never had a problem with them. (so why did I go MSD? :confused:)

Anyways... Fiddle as I must.... Please give me some feedback about your own experiences. Is anybody running the MSD ignition with the stock wires?

Some notes: According to MSD you should not use solid core wires with their ignitions.
I know the stock wires I have are solid core (with resistance built in at either end)... Do these resistors make it possible to use these wires with an MSD?

Wayne: If you have time, Please clarify. Thanks in advance! (I know you're busy) :cool:

I would run the Magnacores. I use them and have no issue. I am not 100% sure about an MSD with stock wires, but IIRC they won't work. I could be wrong, it has been know to happen

Also not sure about stock wires, but I can tell you I have Clewitts and an MSD 6AL and mine works fine.

Stock wires do not work properly with MSD, -- my experience. Also MSD instructions suggest 8.5 mm wires.

i am running the 6AL with the stock, non steel braided wires. no issues.

MSD rotor mod
 

Up for a new question...

I've hear about the MSD rotor mod and I want to do this to mine.

I have a pretty clear idea of what to do.

Cut out the resistor in the rotor with a Dremel,
Bridge the rotor tip with the contact centre with a piece of copper,
Soldered in place and seal with some high strength epoxy.

Does anybody have any pics of this mod for interest and ideas?

This might help.

Thanks Jon

I've seen this thread but it doesn't show any pics of the actual mod.
But it does descried the mod which has been helpful...
