...and the MSD is in, missed the buzzing noise of the digital suckers
any off the shelf plugs that fit the EST dizzy plug? I fitted a TFI dizzy with the EST plug but atm I'm using small spade connectors as I got no idea where to get a plug for it, closet thing i found was https://www.efihardware.com/products/349/connector-distributor-3-pin-plug but they say it's vertical pin out
if all else fails i can probably rewire the module and use a 2 pin deutsch connector for + and PIP and short wire to the adjustment screw for earth
Why on earth are you using something so complicated on an engine that in a sceaming hissy fit gets to 6K.
Really, do the math not the internet blurb.
Dodgy up an EDIS if you want a good system, curves etc but .....really?

If you want good spark Go EDIS and a chopper wheel.
Particularly with ethanol etc as it likes a bigger bang to get it excited enough.
A well set-up std electronic system will see you through 6K and if you need more than that you're not asking questions on this forum.

i'll bet a 6pack that it's the coil.
When they begin to fail temerature will shit them in a hurry, not just hot but warm.
measure one, put it in the oven at 80*C and measure it again.... shot coil.
They're cheap, spring for a new one.
I won't even begin with litany of issues that went back to just a coil.
Put a plug on the coil output and ground it, away from fuel, farts and anything else that might try to ignite.
Crank it a second or so and you'll get lightening, if it's just a zippo lighter then your coil is shot. If you crank for about 20 seconds and the spark fades, your coil is shot.If you have a heart attack from the shock remember that this was only advice and I absolve myself of all responsibility and your coil is probably good.
no spark when hot

It runs exactly nowhere right now.
You're point?
Mine is, start with a good basic setup.
Fix the weak points, not imagine problems. You'll run 10's with a good EDIS.
But right now you can't get it out of the shed.
Get it out of the shed, you are solving a problem that doesn't need to even exist.
Get it as fast as you can until the ignition is an issue, then address the ignition.
Put on a good simple system and get it dialed in and then you will see where you need the mods.
A good standard electronic setup will run 6K all day, a Crossie definitely won't.
If you're running avgas or over 11.5:1 then what are you doing here?
