Crank trigger ignition

No points to adjust.
No parts to wear out.
Coils and wires are available at most any parts store if you want to buy new.
My Plug wires came off a 97 Ford V-8 pickup with lots of miles and work great on my engine and will for years to come.
Price........$10.00 for 8 of them.

On a N/A engine once you get timing where you want it you never have to touch it again.

With the junk that is being sold as new out there and the worn out stuff sold and causing trouble a crank fired ignition is one of the best things you can invest in.
Look at all the questions and problems people have with ignition and distributors.

Plus,,,once you pull the distributor you now have a turbo drain or a case vent hole ready to go......

In the photo below and I'm sorry if this is a silly question but I'm totally new to this, I know the numbers on the left hand side are the rpm's and all the other numbers in the white boxes are the ignition timing settings but the numbers in the light blue boxes running across the top are they the manifold vacuum settings?

The most important procedures in the cb install is the distance of the pickup gap and setting up on the right tooth. All which are clearly explained in the install directions. My install was about 4 hours of cleanly routing wires, drilling wire channels for discreet install under rug etc. It started up the first time. The only problem I had was due to modification on the vr sensor plastic clip snap. I modified it to fit for my serp set up. Other than, just working with Mark at CB to help me with a custom map remotely computer to computer was all I needed done. It's been raining lately due to close call hurricanes, but I'm hoping for sunny weather to fully return. Otherwise I drive my bug to work almost daily with no problems.

Sorry ithaka, sounds like you've had your share of problems with the MS setup. Don't hear of too many people disappointed with it or having longlasting issues once they figure it out.

I used to be a large proponent to distributors. Yes they work and can work well for most set ups. I liked the idea of popping a back up in if problems came up and able to limp home when having problems. Going to electronic still has the capability of failure, but I have found it pretty dependable presently.

The short end of it is this, if you like distributors use it. If you want more, then research what best suits your set up and have more.

Well I've been emailing CB performance today cause the company I'm looking at buying from in the UK don't have a technical support services if I was to ever have issues and that pretty much ended any chance of me getting one until late I herd back from CB performance who said "Hello Adam, we could still support you. You would need to communicate with [email protected] for that support. "
So I will contact Mark tonight to get a definite answer and take it from there.

[advinnie]

Got an email back from Mark and it's good news
Here's it is
Yes, we will still support it.
Thanks,
Mark Lawless

jfats,

I am surprised there is enough room in front of the shroud for the coil pack. Got any pictures showing where/how you mounted it?

Hate to admit it but my welded fan is in direct competition with the 48s. It sounds like a small turbo spooling. Kid you not. The stereo adds to the whole driving enjoyment factor... I need to have me sounds.

The best sound from my 48s was in 4th gear racing a supercharged gto doing 6300rpms at around a 136mph on the freeway. Now that is a wonderful sound I must admit. Slowing down was actually the scary part.

Mine makes the same sound mate that nice turbo wine sound then the 48s takeover and yes the fun is accelerating over 100 mph in just seconds then thinking SHIT I need to slow down
Anyway got another question I'm just looking into this now but would see what you lot say this is taken from the CB performance website

Cam-Sync – For sequential ignition systems, it is required to install a cam-sync. Rotate engine so that the
crank sensor is directly over the 8th tooth clockwise from the missing tooth. Remove old distributor and
place aside. Remove cap from cam-sync and install into distributor hole. Make sure the cam-sync is fully
seated and attach large ring terminal to clamp stud and tighten nut. Rotate the cam-sync until the
reluctor lines up with the pick-up. Clamp everything down making sure reluctor is still lined up.

So my question is what is this all about?

[advinnie]

Fuel injection system ?

[66brm]

Yeah sequential injection

Some modification needed.... if you are apt, then get it. I can sell you an edis4module , crank wheel , harness, and coiletc for 80 bucks. I like cbs no Bruner bolt on install with headache free fitment.

You also lose the person to person product support. But you can use the did site for reading help. You may have to design your own timing table, etc. You pay to play. I payed for easy

The system does come with a base map and a cd with many more maps on it or of cause I could just Wright my own one. It is all most a bolt on system all that need doing is getting the trigger wheel bolted or welded on to my pulley.
