Magnetic Pickup prob


Cruez

Recommended Posts

Hey guys....new to the board...

I've been messing with Z's since I turned 16...And have always had at least one...

 

Anyway, I have installed a Haltech in my '78 after doing mods to the engine that the stock FI couldn't keep up with. I am at my last stage but I cannot get the magnetic pickup to work correctly, I put a MSD 8509 signal converter but it doesnt create enough signal at startup. I took out the distributor and if I turn it fairly fast, the signal is fine....

 

What other alternative can I do that it fairly cheap?...I am on a tight budget...

I had a similar problem with my half-assed together electronic ignition. (the GM HEI module one, with mods) Anyway, once I lowered the gap things worked much better. To hell with factory specs, just move it a bit closer and see if it cures it. (not close enough to rub mind you)
