MSD 6AL vs StreetFire CDI
I've had a few people ask me about the CDI box and what it does and is it necessary etc etc... Its basically the next step in scavaging whatever power is to be found in an engine. You can help an engine breath by putting more air and fuel in and getting it out thru compression, induction, cams.. etc. but the another way to fine tune the process is thru timing and burn efficiency. The MSD 6AL is a standard for drag and other applications, but the StreetFire is perfectly fine for a 4 banger with supporting components. What are supporting components? Well the rest of the ignition system needs to be able to support the extra coil winding power. Here's my set up in addition to the StreetFire CDi 1) low impedence (ohms) spiral wound copper core (radio supression) wires. I have Magstar Racing 100, but Magnecor, Accel, MSD, VMS (claim the lowest ohms in indistry), or others should work fine too. 2) non resistor spark plugs.. the resistor, and fine electrode iridium tips are perfec...
AIP Dragon Fire Distributor Installed
Small progress today. No write up, the diz install is pretty straight forward. Unplug harness connector, remove two bolts, make sure new unit's rotor is facing same direction as old one. (dotted notch on cam side of rotor is the side of the brush).. notch on top of cam journal should match diz.. or advance/retard as u need. Also put in the non-resistor NGK's. (Stock#4930) BCP6ES .. meant for Saab's, but look identical and fit perfect, overgapped to .550.. we'll see if that needs to be adjusted before the StreetFire CDI is installed. Also removed timing chain upper guides.. and cleaned off valve cover.. also found that the spark plug hole gaskets werent aligned from when I installed the Magnum MaxDry gasket.. so I had to make sure they were right this time. Also removed refridgerant line off the fire wall.. pointless since I have no AC. will remove condensor and side canister soon. Tomorrow Im getting a temporary battery, so hopefully I'll get some driving video i...
