Ah.......you guys are so Sweet.

See...they are all programmed to fail. Murray lost that high end MSD 4edis...I lost a crane Hi6....Enrique lost the Jacobs. Nascar has always ran two ignition boxes, two batteries, and too left. Now if they had a Jacobs in there...there would be two as well.

I think the higher end you guys go you had better be worried about heat and placement........either that or you'll be worried about replacement! Murray I hope that autronic holds up....for my own selfish reasons!

Be careful David of Enrique. He thinks that he is Darth Vader and even told Murray the other day the he was Murray's father...calling Murray Luke. Something about the darkside and to use his anger over being hunted as baby seal meat to strengthen his use of the force. And I don't think its a coincidence that Enrique has his car painted up to represent the Thialand Racing Team. Enrique has been referring to his car lately as the "Thai Fighter". Scary I know!

Best Regards,
John M

It came that way, the P.O. put lots of real nice stuff into this car and he seemed to know what he was doing. I'm just waiting for Conedriver to drive down to my house and open the garage and hook up my ignition system, hopefully he will put the tools away when he's done...he can grab a beer or two if he wants.....when he's done of course. Dang it guys....y'all know RED spiders are the fastest........ .

John has a very nice garage!! I thought in another thread we realized that the red ones were only faster if the driver was Italian....

I think in Detroit what saved the MSD box was I was getting a flow of air in the engine compartment while I was on the track (High speeds) but when I was back home driving on the street it just got too hot and fried. I built a cool tunnel with the help of Tifso and Green Dragon's input that has a ram air intake and a secondary inlet that has a fan to pump in outside air in when the car is at a stand still. So far it has shown a 60 F to 70 F difference (lower temp) inside the cool tunnel then outside on the hwy use and 50 F to 60 F difference in city driving. This should keep me in the operating temperture range of the ignition control box. As a side note I think the direct fire igniton box's run hotter than the waste spark?

Not to mention cutting out the hole better for the rear bolts of the roll bar. Ah the list goes on and on. Mark should just come up here and do my stuff for me and I'll install his Jacobs.

Has anyone tried to add a knock sensor with the ability for the system to retard the ignition upon sensing the knock so as to allow for more advanced ignition timing?
