Base Timing Questions

MV8,
Post #20.

I am replying to your post first. I used many Chrys pick ups over the years with GM 4 pin modules & never had a problem. The Chrys, GM & MSD pickups generate a small AC voltage [ millivolts at cranking speed ] which triggers the module. As rpms increase, this voltage also increases to a few volts. Module doesn't know or care about the name on the p/up....they all trigger fine. The adjustable air gap on MSD & Ch p/ups changes the voltage; smaller the gap, larger the voltage generated.
You do NOT want a series resistor in the p/up line. If using the Ch p/up, one wire will be black; it goes to the 'G' terminal on the module.

The current limiter in the 4 pin module is to limit coil current, NOT p/up current.
