Thread: 8-71 ignition setup

Tweet

i know a few of you guys are running blower cars so i have a question for you. what kind of ignition set up are you running, Right now in my motor i have has a mallory distributor running a mallory coil. which works fine. The motor is a 427 with a little over 8;1 compression and a full roller drivetrain, i have it set up to run on a stand and it revs very very fast, so i want to keep from blowing it up. Now what is everyone using on their cars? what kind of rev limiter they are using. i am not sure if it matters if it has a soft touch or if it just shuts the ignition down complete. thanks for the help ..jason

i run a MSD6 BTM BOX. boost timing master it automaitcally retards the timing under boost and controls the revs. i do not know if mallory makes something like this. MSD boxs will not cut the engine out. but it will drop down the spark at the rpms you want by rpm chip .

i was just afraid of it sneezing on a "soft touch" style rev limiter. i'll have to find something from mallory..
