MSD and Marrelli Dizzy...?
I have an MSD 6AL installed on my '73 six conversion.
http://www.msdignition.com I curently have the 7000rpm limiter pill in place and do not have the Tach hooked up as I need a tach adaptor, I think. I also still have the Marrelli distributor. I've heard the the Marrelli is a POS, because of bad or inconsistant mechanical advance...yes, no, maybe? Does anyone know if the MSD can be used in a way to overcome the short falls of the Marrelli, or should I just junk it and find a Bosch dizzy? Anyone out there have any experience with this set up? -Mike D. '74 2.0 '73 2.? six '71 flares wanting V8 (for sale, BTW) |

The most major issue with the Marrelli is that the supply of caps/rotors/points dried up years ago. You simply cannot do a tune-up on a Marrelli dizzy!
The MSD cannot overcome a worn-out cap and rotor, even if you were able to adapt points or an electronic trigger to take care of worn points problem. You either need to find a Bosch dizzy (getting rare and expensive) or modify a later distributor. I think it was FISHCOP that did this on the 911 board so do a search over there. |

Thanks guys, I guess it is time to break down and get the Bosch dizzy. I think I've found an early one for around $200. Here in So.Cal. we've got two swap meets coming up I'll look for one at these events too. (Pamona & Dunkle Bros.)
Now I've got some strange chatter/squeek noise that only shows up under load. great! -Mike D.
