    MSD AND TFI

    So did not have a timing light but thought I had timing somewhere in the ballpark - turned out 38 degrees advance once I got a light on it! I did not run it long with this much but it seemed reasonably happy, easy to start etc and very responsive. Have backed it off to 28 degrees and seems much more flat, (when on road it does have a bit of a flat spot when you stand on it down low) Is it safe to try some more timing? Somebody mentioned upto 31 degrees? Any recommendations on carby jetting (600 vac secondary - have already changed pv to 4.5 can't remember exact jet sizes) I had a look at plug colour and redish brown after a brisk drive up the road and back - can you go off plug colour with the unleaded fuel?

    Success!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deleted module and it ran!!!!!! Only had dummy wired so have pulled everything apart again to tidy up then will fine tune the timing!! Thank you to everyone for advice!

    Any chance of a pic of your dizzy with deleted module? Did you strip the dizzy down for ease of soldering wires on? What are we talking about when you say sensor may be stuffed? How important would new rotor and dizzy cap be as the ones with the dizzy looked okay? Thank you for all the assistance so far - I'm not giving in till this b@#^% is running with the msd!

    Wired but not running - the saga continues! Have 12v switched going to dizzy pin 3 and to red wire msd. Led flicks on once when I turn ignition to on (is it meant to stay on with key on?) Getting spark from coil lead with tapping White msd wire to ground but led does not flash when turning over (ie no trigger signal from dizzy)

    Thanks sly - think this has cleared it up for me, will advise when I'm up and running!

    Going to have another go at this with the module and will attempt the below: Pin 6 - white from MSD Pin 3 - red from MSD Pin 1 - to ground Orange from MSD to coil + Black from MSD to coil - Question is in regards to pin 3 some threads I have read state that this should be 12v switched and the MSD manual says that the small red wire should be 12v switched (do they both need to be) I know it's been done to death but I really want it running with the msd. Looking for clarity here if anyone can assist.

    could an earthing issue be letting me down? I put ground wire to the screw which would have held the module onto the dizzy?

    if it was would you not still be getting some spark?

    Yes have tried that Sly and no difference.

    Can't get it running for the life of me! Must be retarded! I have wired it with and without module and still no spark - msd definitely producing spark as have tested. Looks like sticking with the old dizzy!

    I have orange and black to coil but also original tacho wire - would that affect it?

    So how did you go with connecting the wires To terminals after deleting module - can't exactly get a soldering iron in there! I took the pins 1,3,6 off an old thread that I found

    Okay so I have attempted to wire up msd and TFI and start car but no go. Have tested the msd and is creating spark. I have wired through the module so pin 6 - white wire to msd, pin 3 - red to msd, pin 1 - earth. I have tried two different modules in case one was no good. Any suggestions?

    Haha - yes I would say you are right there Slydog! Still not up with all the crossflow lingo! Am I right in saying that when locked it will be seeing 28 degrees advance all of the time??

    Hi Guys, another quick question - I obtained a MSD 6AL-2 PN 6420 old style for $50. I also have a TFI Dizy. Car is running re-graphed EST at the moment and starts/idles performs reasonably well (28 deg total advance). If I install TFI with that MSD will I have starting issues as timing will then be locked? Has camtech ct142-528a plus head work and 600 vac sec aswell as msd blaster coil. Cheers Tyson
