    Which one? MSD AL6 or MSD AL6-2 for my stroker 418 (340)

    So to update.. I got such a good deal on a lightly used MSD 6T 6400 I've gone with that, seems a good unit.. But then anything is better than the factory ECU and ballast I guess.... just been looking for a "How to" guide on totally removing the double (4 pin) ballast resistor but they all get...

    Which one? MSD AL6 or MSD AL6-2 for my stroker 418 (340)

    No I don't have a return line, its just what came out the box.. so they sell a set up thats going to fail?? is it really that important? I ask as got a tour racing alloy fuel cell so guess it would have to be totally removed, drained and drilled? and its behind rear seat under speaker shelf...

    Which one? MSD AL6 or MSD AL6-2 for my stroker 418 (340)

    Hi Guys.. Just wondering which system to go with? is there a difference other than the Built-in 2-Step Rev Control lol!! I can get the AL6-2 a little cheaper be it only $5 difference but both on the shelf here in the UK and the Duster is a little tuned??? Sick of larking about with the crappy...

    Have actually relocated the coil now, the Blaster 3 is on fire wall nr where the heater hoses used to connect (replacing with the Blaster 2 today due to backfire) I'm reading to jump the ballast with the blaster 3, but to be honest don't understand how to correctly do that... so just going to...

    This end was not touched so don't think so, besides we think the backfire is caused by the MSD Blaster 3 not getting enough voltage at higher revs.. will find out today as just got up and the sun is actually out!!! so about to swap over back to the Blaster 2 thats been on for 1000 miles and fix...

    Cheers, yes I see they mount to an alloy plate and use PC paste.. fixed many an Xbox, so used to that stuff... I am learning slowly, but the learning curve is steep.... I mistook a full rebuild as trouble free driving lol!! only Mopars owned previously was my 06 Charger police cruiser from...

    Yes checked TDC with tool and its correct, I think I'll go back to either a stock coil or add the GM HEI module to save the headache. Hey Dart.. Yes it run perfect for almost 1000 miles since complete rebuild, I say perfect but it was a bugger to start but that was a choke issue and choke now...

    Thanks very much for that sir... you saying that has reminded me seeing something about a MSD ballast... I will switch back to my Blaster 2 in due course until I get a GM HEI.... Like an idiot I thought the only difference was the longer lead connection :-( Not happy as car is outside and we...

    As far as I'm aware its only the diesel here that has a blend change in winter, I run what we call Super unleaded – 98 RON best available here. I have a Pro sport timing pulley so its marked 0 through 60 checking with basic timing light, + - and No1 lead no dial back I'm using a normal Mopar 4...

    Hi... its fine when cold and idles, but once warm its does this and its a slow crank for a split second from the get go, like I said the engine just feels too hot for the short time it runs, it then constantly stalls, I struggled to get home lol!! thing is it was timed at 32 at idle before hence...

    Hi 67Dart273 very helpful post I'm sure I'd seen that pic but can't see a post from you with this???... sadly the internet and forums are hard to communicate on at best of times as so many people and misplaced info can be put out there.. mainly the "dreaded vac hooked up or not" I did say its...

    Hope we all had a good Christmas.... so today I thought I'd get back on it and while there replaced the MSD Blaster 2 for a Blaster 3 coil, checked timing once again and still sitting at 32 at warm idle, so I adjusted the timing back and its now sitting at 17 at idle.... so at that point I took...

    I'm afraid not, I don't know what it was set at, I only checked timing after it did the rapid popping when I gave it some, which is not that often so could have been an issue for 100 miles but didn't feel it until I booted it some, I just assumed the timing was high at 32 degs initial and as...

    Sorry.. sadly used to the UK language hence the Dist wording you don't like, bit like boot is trunk, bonnet is hood, Motorway is freeway, etc etc but I do try lol!! Maybe I'm confused I thought initial timing was what I'm reading off the crank pulley at idle with timing light, which is 31 at...

    Imported last July from Orlando with supposedly 1000miles on rebuild, but after 120 miles the cam lobe went and it ate a lifter, turns out the oil galley plugs were left out....so a full rebuild was needed....so why not stroke it, so I did.
