I thinking about selling my whole MSD ignition set up minus the spark plug wires, If anybody wants to throw some reasonable offers. I think it clutters my engine bay.

I'm trying to make the engine bay look good since that's all I can do so far.

When I ran a MSD setup I didn't want to clutter up my tucked bay, so I bought an extended coil to cap wire that allowed me to mount the coil on the inside of the firewall. I since went back to OEM ignition I don't need it anymore if you're interested LMK.

I'm interested!

- Wed Oct 19, 2011 11:31 pm #278348 Update: changed spark plugs

Decided to change my spark plugs since I didn't know how long ago they were changed

Here's pics of the spark plugs that came out. Cylinder 1 starting from left


Cylinder 1 starting from right


All the spark plugs that came out look identical like this.


According to the last pic the heat range is too cold, the air/fuel ratio is too rich, and porcelain looks to be that there is a timing issue.

This is a web page that has some simple info on how to read spark plugs: http://www.4secondsflat.com/Spark_plug_reading.html

Hey whats the advantages of running an msd smoother idle and better start up or. Is there more to it?

My idle was perfect when I got the car. So it really didn't do anything to the idle. What I noticed is that it started up quicker compared to the stock igntion components and had a lil more pull in the top end of the RPM range according to my butt dyno

The only real advantage of the MSD is when you turbo your car. It helps ignite the combustion mixture better.

But from what a whole bunch of forums are saying the stock ignition is pretty damn good at doing its job.

- Wed Nov 02, 2011 5:58 pm #279861 Here's a lil update...can't do much Christmas up coming up. Plus i'm going to California for two weeks to do some work.

So I just vacuumed my car...it looks so much better without dirt. Still gotta clean all that dust/lint...those things are everywhere and hard to clean up.


Then I decided to change this


To this...I got tired of calculating kmh to mph in my head.
