MSD and Timing
If the MSD 6A series produces multiple sparks for 20 degrees of crankshaft rotation, then how do you know the timing light is bliping at the right time? :confused:

Re: MSD and Timing (AlwaysWave)
Triggers off the first impulse. Even if the light triggered with every impulse you wouldn’t see it. Motor spins at 1000 rpm, 16.67 rps, 6E-2 seconds per revolution, 3.3E-3 seconds per 20 degrees of rotation… get the picture?
This could get interesting... Now you've got me thinking about the speed of electricity...
I'm about to go off on a tangent so I’m going to post this in off topic.
