Thanks everyone for the help.  We ended up changing to the Digital 6AL box, and put a new cap and rotor in it.  And cleaned the problem right up.  No more issues....Thanks again for the help!

All, thanks again.  I did change out the ignition box, new cap and rotor went over all my grounds, and checked all my connections.  I did find a loose wire from my distributor to my box, but that wire I would think would either give me spark or no spark at all.  We will be racing this weekend.  I'll keep everyone up on if it worked or not.

Thanks again!

All thanks for giving me some stuff to check.  Going to begin looking through everything tonight.  Hopefully it's something really noticeable that we just missed at the track!  (but it never is!  LOL)

Bill we are getting 12 volts at least while it's running.  I've checked this before.  We charge the battery after every run.  I'm going to check rotor phasing later this week and pick-up wires.  I'm almost positive the wires are right but will make sure.  I was thinking of eliminating the starter saver just to get that out of the system all together.  We run a high torque starter and I feel it would start the same without it.

I can take the 2-step out of the equation.  I also thought the same thing about checking the rotor phasing.  I'll see what I can come up with.  Really want this thing right before Memorial Day.....

That's all great and I understand you are probably correct.  BUT, I didn't have issue last year and I don't have 600-800 for a Mag.  I'm sorta stuck at this point with what I got.  I can't afford to just dump all of it and go to a MAG. 

For the previous 2 years we've had no issues.  It developed late last year and we attributed it to weather.  But, now I'm almost certain it is ignition related.

Ok guys, 175" WB FED, 410 SBC timing around 36 degrees, MSD Pro-Billet Dist, MSD Blaster 2 coil, MSD 6 ignition box, MSD starter saver, and MSD 2 step rev control.  Engine is fuel injected on Alcohol (down nozzles), Kinsler 450 mechanical pump.

The car on launch runs flat and breaks up.  Our first pass of the day our 60' times were 1.415ish and our normal 60' times are roughly 1.16ish.  It is flat then all of a sudden will pick up and our MPH on top end is normal 166MPH.

We tried leaning the barrel valve, then we tried richening the barrel valve, nothing made a difference.  And by the end of the day the engine would clean out until I hit high gear (powerglide) and then it would break up again. 

I'm pretty certain this is ignition, but where or what part of the ignition should I be looking at?  Our tach is the digital shift light with the tach built in, and it seems very erratic as well....

Spud, thanks.

By 24V I'm assuming your saying using a 24Volt battery?

Thanks.

Spud Miller's Cave / 18V Battery to run Distributor?

« on: November 10, 2014, 03:52:50 AM »

I see Neil and Parks offers an 18V battery that is used instead of a larger automotive style battery.  On our car this would be powering our tach light, transbrake and the biggie, our msd distributor.  My question is, will the 18V battery work with a msd Distributor?

Thanks for the help.
