Guest 2slo4u Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Maybe if you had an ignition that had three seperate inputs for three cam or crank sensors to fire the three inputs to the coil pack... I would like to be able to use a coil pack (not that one though) to run on my L-6. I've heard that it gives more spark energy because the individual coils have a longer time (3X as much) between sparks to "recharge". And without the distributor shaft to crank gear clearance to worry about, there will be no ignition timing play. Or I guess you could just buy a TEC ecu to use the coil pack? Big $$ though.

preith Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Electromotive has had a DIS kit on the market for a good 10 years. This is what I have on my car. You have to fab up the sensor holder and mate the trigger wheel to the crank pulley. They also have "bolt on" kits for many engines including chevy and ford V8's.

johnc Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 And without the distributor shaft to crank gear clearance to worry about, there will be no ignition timing play. If all the parts are new and assembled properly then there is zero measurable variance in ignition timing until you get over 7,500rpm. Surprising statement, but that's how it worked on my L6.

Guest 2slo4u Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Hey John, I guess I should price a new oilpump, oil pump/distributor shaft, and crankshaft gear so I can be absolutely sure? I guess I was talking about the "play' because I really wish they would have used a Distributorless Ignition System in the first place. But I guess with the technology they were working with back then, that was the best they could do. I don't really have faith in my own ability to set up the stationary triggers though, even though it would be great.

Guest 2slo4u Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I figured they were around (in development stages maybe) but I did not know automotive manufacturers were using them from 1970 to 1983. Which auto companies used them at that time? I'm curious because they must have jumped ahead of the other companies by a couple of years.
