mag/ or run m.s.d. distr. & box

on a mild blown alcohol big block mopar--injected , 871 on 9% overdrive--10-1 compression.....2500#door car...have a mallory magIII ....also have a m.s.d. distr. 6al box set-up ...is the magneto going to be better?? how to hook a tach to mag [does not have ext.tach drive] or run the m.s.d. distr. is it powerful enough for this blower /injection motor??? is a 16volt battery enough to crank this over fast enough with magneto?? being told to run two 12 volts in series for 24v system ...is this necessary?? will a tach get a signal off of coil/transformer from a mallory super mag III ?? is there a ign.box for a magneto, to help with tach/rpm levels/to operate shifter solenoids ect...? thanks danny

 

Dont run the 6 box,it will give you fits. 7Al-3,or 2 will work. You need to convert the signal to square wave if running the mag,If its an autometer,they have a converter. $60 i believe. For a self starter, The choices are either run 2 in parallel for the amps,or put a external plug and start off a battery pak, or run the 16 volt hi amp.24 makes em spin fast,but its hard on starters.

 

want to run the mag.- after all its blown alcohol, would be my first effort with magneto, what ya'dont know makes ya'nervous type deals....the mag. came on motor and was just serviced....I dont have any local input yet so I'm learning as I go..........thanks danny

 

I run MSD12LT mag with one 16 volts batt. work very well , you can use MSD p/n 8132 to convert magneto signal into 12 volts square wave signal for your shifter or other accessories.
