    you need just one mag kill where you can reach it.

    that 4-7 swap is for the chevy
    chevy and the hemi have the same firing order
    but different rotations
    hemi counter clockwise
    chevy clockwise

    No hard feelings or anything, but that motor seems a little too advanced for you, what are you going to be doing with it, don't want to see you hurt yourself or somebody else.

    thank you for the replys and the confidence boost.:eek: ..yes i'm new to blown alcohol engines but the only way i got to know about anything interesting in life was by reading books and asking questions,as there seem to be no books on running blown alcohol engines i'm asking questions instead.previously i drag raced vw's and v8 vw's and information was everywhere,magazines,forums,clubs and lots of books.now with blown alcohol everything seems so serious,like people are guarding the secret to the universe.if anyone will still answer,as usual i have a question of the day.on a mag with a 3 wire plug where does the extra wire go?.i have 1 red 1 black and 1 black with white stripe.all the diagrams i have are for the basic orange/yellow 2 wire type

    dont expect any noticeable performance gain with the 4/7 swap. i have tested it on the dyno, however, theoretically, it does offer less torsional abuse to the crank
