FBO's black HEI ignition box

RB, RB, RB.....
I think I am going to call you Mister Wrong. I will be respectful though & use a capital W.
Wrong on all these points in this thread & wrong in many other threads....
Wrong about:
- how an air bleed works
- unable to explain how an AB works
- 44 Promag producing more spark current than batt & coil ign
- what Urich said about power valve selection
- what bigger plug gaps can do
- the MSD mags primary current
- no proof of MSDs magneto current rating method or any other brand to support your RMS claim
- HEI centri advance system
- my typing finger is getting sore.....


Lets see…I was going to answer this last night but I took a phone call from a guy who’s been doing this much longer than me and he’s says you’re an idiot.

His exact words were “I start at .040 gap and close it up from there until the power falls off and then open it up .004 and send it.

So I said why not open the gap past .040 and he said never has he seen a bigger than .040 gap make power. He has seen some engines that don’t LOSE power with a .060 gap but he has never seen one make power with a .060 gap.

And that is exactly what ALL my testing has shown.

So there you go. And he called me on a whim. Well, he called because I made a typographical error on another forum and he caught it and I didn’t. So I fixed that and off we went on a three hour conversation.

Ok, let’s see…I’ll take these one at a time.

I know how an air bleed works AND I can explain it. The problem is you don’t like it so you just ignore it. I have already posted the volume, page and paragraph plus added a photo of the Taylor book where he explains what you can’t understand. So if you can’t learn from Taylor you won’t listen to me. Your arrogance is appalling.

A 44 MSD Mag does produce more power AT THE PLUG than any battery fired ignition out there, and that’s per MSD. Go look it up.

I can probably find where Urich said the wrong way to set PV timing. But I’m not doing it. Why you ask? Because it may be in his book, may be in an article but no one and I mean NO ONE who had Holley’s blessing to write books and articles had to say to time the PV they way Holley says to TO THIS DAY. Holley is STILL teaching that you open the power valve at 1/2 idle vacuum even though it’s been proven wrong. Urich is just another guy who had to toe the line.

I already covered the plug gap issue. The only explanation I can give is that in Australia physics and **** work differently that the do in the US. Or maybe you are just wrong. Likely the latter.

Its COMICAL that you are so blinded by your arrogance and ignorance that you think I can’t PROVE that MSD rates it’s mags in…let’s say it this way…in an unorthodox method. I can prove it very simply but nothing will sway you out of your ignorance.

And yes, the HEI is the greatest ignition and the GM advance mechanism is the greatest ever and nothing can come close let alone compare to it.

I‘ll make you a deal. If I post positive PROOF that MSD doesn’t use RMS to rate it’s mags and that their mags do NOT produce the primary current MSD claims when you use the industry standard then once it’s posted you leave FABO and NEVER come back.

Agree to that and I’ll post up the proof right quick.
