    Rotor Phasing

    So quick update, I decided to increase the mechanical advance from 16 degrees to 20 degrees to slow the advance rate down a little bit to see if that would make a difference. Set mechanical advance to 20 degrees which allows timing to be all in by around 2600-2800 rpm. Based on the chart that...

    Rotor Phasing

    I just figured if you looked at the photo you'd see what I'm talking about. It's a small block, so the distributor is spinning clockwise. When you have the photo turned upside down you can see that with the vaccum advance activated the rotor is pulling away from the cap terminal ccw, then when...

    Rotor Phasing

    I had someone tell me the rough spot I'm feeling around 2500-3000 rpm is because the advance rate is coming inn too quickly. Right now with 16 degrees of mechanical advance and the initial timing being at 18 degrees and the total timing being at 34 degrees with the springs that are in the...

    Rotor Phasing

    67Dart273, you have to turn the photo upside down to see it correctly. When you do that you'll see that the rotor is slightly to the right of the cap terminal, when the vacuum advance backs off when you get in the throttle obviously the rotor would then swing back to the left going towords the...

    Rotor Phasing

    This is a Mopar Crate carbureted 360 Magnum, the 300hp version. The position of the rotor in the picture is with vacuum advance. In the picture that's the engine idling with 18 degrees of initial timing plus 12 degrees from vacuum advance: I have the vacuum advance routed to manifold vacuum...

    Rotor Phasing

    This is kind of a long story so I'm Going to attempt to keep it short and sweet. 91 Dodge w150 short bed 4x4 Truck. 300hp crate 360 Magnum, around 20-25k miles on engine. Was running a Mopar distributor from FBO systems, kept having issues with the advance plate wobbling around, reluctor teeth...

    Issue with crane cams hi-6 cd ignition

    I wanted to give everyone an update to what the issue was. I figured out the problem was rotor phasing in the firecore distributor that I had purchased at Mancini racing. Rick from firecore took real good care of me and sent me a new distributor right away and I installed it and checked the...

    Issue with crane cams hi-6 cd ignition

    I could see wondering that with a stock mopar distributor that I didn't know much about. But this is a brand new firecore 50 unit wit less then 50 miles on it. When I pulled this distributor out of the box I checked the reluctor teeth gap at rest and I hooked my mighty vac to it and applied...

    Issue with crane cams hi-6 cd ignition

    Yes I can dis-connect the rev limiter by taking the 12v lead away from the rev limiter wire. I'm going to try that tonight, I'm also wanting to a try a cheap temporary parts store coil, is there any particular coil I should ask for? Or wil any 12v ignition coil suffice in a quick little test...

    Issue with crane cams hi-6 cd ignition

    It still misses at above 2500 rpm it just seems like it takes longer for the Miss to come around once your above 2500 if that makes any sense. And yes the rev limiter is set at 6k

    Anyone got a part number to a cheap 12 volt parts store coil that I could just hook up real quick to eliminate wether or not it is my coil causing the issue?

    Issue with crane cams hi-6 cd ignition

    Yellow and white is the stage input wire the (rev limiter) brown and white is retard wire and it is taped off. I'm thinking coil as well, but what's throwing me off is how it's testing fine when I check the primary and secondary resistance with my multimeter. and it's also strange that the coil...

    Issue with crane cams hi-6 cd ignition

    So a little update, I ran a 10 gauge ground wire directly from the negative battery post to the crane ignition box and it didn't do anything. Still Miss firing pretty badly.

    Was your coil testing out fine resistance wise and still having the issue? Cause my coil is testing within the specs that it should.

    Issue with crane cams hi-6 cd ignition

    I have been having a strange issue that I finally narrowed down to being ignition related some how. At first I thought it was a drivetrain issue on my 91 w150 4x4 truck. The issue I was having was a horrible vibration that came on at 2500 rpm. I figured out the vibration showed up at 2500 rpm in...

    No more MSD

    Wow crane isn't making the hi-6 cd ignition boxes anymore? That's what I was going to suggest, I'm running one of them with a crane lx91 coil. I bet if you check eBay you'll be able to Find some of the crane boxes with free shipping.

    MALLORY FTW! HOLLEY FTL! We need AMERICAN made again.

    Crane cams isn't owned by msd and their cd ignitions blow msd's away imo. Been running a crane cams hi-6 cd ignition and lx91 coil on my 360 magnum for a few years now and no issues at all. Msd wasn't even digital untill a few years ago. They stuck by their analog system for way too long. And...

    Ignition boxes - worth it for the effieciencies

    I'm running a crane cams hi-6 cd ignition and a crane cams lx91 ignition coil, I love it, simple to wire up, dual rev limiter on a dial, it also has a troubleshooting program, you turn the ignition on and off a certain amount of times and the light will blink a certain amount of times...

    Plug selection 360 Magnum

    I'm more interested in the different length's between the two plugs. They both fit the 360 magnum but the ZFR5F11's are slightly longer. Why did mopar use the shorter plugs then switch to the longer plugs? I think they made the switch to the longer nose plugs in 97. Would it benefit me to run...

    Plug selection 360 Magnum

    What would be a better plug to run in a 300 hp crate 360 magnum. The NGK BKR5E or the NGK ZFR5F11's? The ZFR5F11's have a longer electrode then the BKR5E, The BkR5E is the same exact length as the champion rc12yc's which was the factory plug in the 360 magnums for awhile. I'm just wondering if...

    electronic ignition conversion recommendation

    I'd run a crane cams hi-6 cd ignition with a crane cams lx91 ignition coil. I've been running this combo for about 2 years and it's been great, no problems what so ever.

    MP Dist Timing Scatter and Bad Curve

    I bought a mopar distributer from Don at fbo systems, I paid 170.00 for it I believe. He set it up to have 18 degrees of mechanical advance. And the Vaccum advance he puts on them adds 14 degrees of timing. I dropped it in and set my initial timing to 16 degrees and that of course puts my total...

    MP Dist Timing Scatter and Bad Curve

    I wasn't aware of this issue with the 99 and up mopar distributers, I have one of these distributers with the Mallory style mechanical advance mechanism. I did however take it out in exchange for a curved and phased distributer from don at fbo systems. I noticed the mechanical advance mechanism...

    Mopar Ignition

    Cd ignitions are not much more money then an hei conversion or a mopar ignition. I ran the stock mopar ignition for awhile and I didn't have any problems with it, but I can tell you after I got my crane cams hi-6 cd ignition box with a crane cams lx91 coil I noticed a difference. I was able to...

    Firecore 50 wires

    Ya I took a look at them while I was on there web page. But 90.00 bucks plus the shipping which would i'm guessing would be at least another 10-15 bucks that's still 30.00 bucks more then the taylor thundervolt wires. If the taylor thundervolt wires are strong and can be pulled off and on...
