MSD ?
I tried starting my car this past weekend. It was cold (mid 30's) so I figured it was just cold blooded. I tried several times and it just acts like the timing is way off. Motor is bucking back, and volt gauge is just lugging down (to 8-9 volts) like it terrible far off and having a hard time cranking.
I hooked it upto the dist. from the dyno that is set at 37 degrees so I figured it'd be very close. I checked #1 plug and it was close, but still had no luck at all. In fact it started bucking so hard it broke the starter and some teeth on the new fly wheel are ground down a bit now. When cranking the car without ignition on its fine on the volt gauge.
I changed the wiring in the car over the winter and confident in it. Same Coil, New Plug Wires, same plugs from dyno, new 7al3 box, new k&r switch panel. Good grounds and power to everything.
My question is the msd 7al3 start retard is taking 25 degrees out could this be taking so much out that cylinders are firing so fast right after each other it could make the motor buck back on me ?
I dont have all the msd chips in the box this shouldnt affect anything should it ?
It just seems advanced so far its doing it and I wouldnt think being so retarted would do this ?
thanks for the info
