FBO's black HEI ignition box
RB,
[1] The bulls**t king. I never said the HEI dist adv should not be removed to change the curve. As for the BS about being able to do the same with 'something else' as the HEI centri mechanism: there were at least 3 different shaped weights available & at least 32 [ yes 32! ] centre plates available; & I am not sure if this is the complete list. The weights/centre plate can also be ground or welded up to give an almost infinite amount of combinations. Name another brand of dist that has this number of combinations available.
The total timing limit is easily done, I use a nut & bolt on the rotor mounting plate, very simple, & there are other ways.
[2] Bulls**t #2: mag with 3 amps output, puts out 300% more than ANY battery fired ign, so that would be 1 amp.
The MSD coil #8261 teamed with MSD7 puts out 2 amps...
MSD coil #8251 puts out 1.1 amps......
[3] MSD recommend 0.050- 0.060" plug gaps as a starting point for up to 10.5:1 CR engines with the MSD 6 ign. Why would they do that if there was nothing to gain with increased plug gaps??????
[4] The Pro mag 44 requires a 16 volt battery. Doubt many here have 16 v batteries....
[5] I have provided test results showing power gains from bigger plug gaps.
[6] Manufacturers do not spend $$$$ on better ign systems to run smaller plug gaps, they could use what they already have....or go back to points ign...
Let me take a few of these and the rest I’ll skip because you are a huge time waster. You are the same clown who STILL thinks a bigger main air bleed delays the start of the mains. So you can’t learn.
Here we go…
1. Who cares? You could have 500 different weights and 200 different footballs and its STILL a poor design. But they produced BILLIONS of them and MSD wasn’t competent to develop their own. Or maybe they were just too cheap. Either way, it’s just not that good of an advance mechanism. But you say it’s the god of advance mechanisms so it must be true because you have never been wrong.
2. Double bullshit on YOU. The MSD 7, regardless of coil is rated at 160 millijoules. That’s .16 joule. That’s nowhere near an AMP. Not even lose. Do you enjoy being wrong? You must because you are wrong. A lot.
3. MSD can recommend you rub your junk with peanut butter before sex and who would care? That’s like telling GM said something. It’s a RECOMMENDATION not a law. Again, no one who has real world tested plug gaps runs gaps that wide. Unless of course you live in Australia. It’s the only thing I can figure because there is no other answer.
4. Don’t be a jackass and argue just to think you are winning. You KNOW damned good and well a MAG does NOT require a battery. EVER. MSD says to use a 16v battery to get the cranking speed fast enough to generate a spark. Real engines use 24 volts but I have personally started 44 amp mags on fully charged 12v batteries. Again, that’s MSD’s recommendation. It’s not gospel. And it’s damned disingenuous of you to claim the 44 NEEDS a battery other than to start. Very slimy of you because I expect you know that and you are trying to bullshit your way around here. Bad call.
5. I have provided results that say big plug gaps don’t work. Even the idiot at DUI who claimed his sorry HEI units produced more “power” than a mag because his junk could run a .100 gap or some nonsense and a mag only used a .025 gap has now brought his number down to .065 or some silly number.
6. What manufacturer is running wide gaps? Or better yet, what PERFORMANCE manufacturer is using stupid wide gaps?
Damn you are tiring. And wrong. Again.
