Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

I think I read you used the lead after ign resistor to power the MSD. MSD needs full power to operate properly. Low voltage IE after resistor could make it missfire When you get your battery fixed, set your ign timing with a timing light while cranking engine with fuel pump disconnected. When car fires your timing is already set. If you do not have a timing light you need to own one with a turbo car.

I jumped the lead without the resistor and took the resistor out of the circuit. For now the MSD box is sitting dormant with nothing hooked up to it again to eliminate it as a factor. I'd rather make sure the system runs on its own before I go to any sophisticated control, so for right now, that's a modified dizzy with a pertronix controller and magnetic pickup, with a mofified governor and a volvo advance/retard pod.

I do have a timing light. it's an 80's Snap-On light where you can see what the exact timing line is comparitive to the mark and show where certain advance or retard marks are. It's real nice.
