What ignition setup for 7,000 rpm or greater shifts?
I am running a 1992 Coupe, all motor 360 small block that is currently being shifted at 7,000 rpm and using the stock Ford electronics. Everyone is asking why? My answer, "Because it works"....lol. (I am using a TwEECer RT to control the rev limit and tune)
It is a DART block, nuetral balanced with forged internals. Here are some questions for those who know ignitions (I admittedly do not). 1. Why not use the stock Ford stuff in this application? 2. What is a better ignition setup to use for an all motor setup like mine? 3. If I plan to upgrade to some higher winding parts next year and up my shift points from 7,000 to 8,000 rpm, what ignition parts would you recommend using and why? 4. Will a MSD 8456 TFI distributor, MSD Blaster Coil and MSD 6A work for me now and in the future with the 8,000 rpm shifts? Thanks in advance to all who reply. I really have not looked into ignition stuff until now. I guess it never concerned me. Now I am looking to the future upgrades and would like to get some ideas as to which way to go. Thanks again to all who reply. Ed Stettin

Re: What ignition setup for 7,000 rpm or greater shifts?
If you are turning the motor that high now and plan on the 8k rpms later then I would get the MSD 7 series ignition, it is a full out race set up, I am not too sure if you can use a regular distributor with it or if you will have to swap to a crank trigger set up. If that is not the way you want to go you may could do the MSD Digital 6.

Italian is right. Use the rev limiter on the MSD box over the EEC built in rev limiter.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know that about the 6AL with no chip.

Basically, buy whatever pill you want for the rev limiter and set your EEC via Tweecer a few hundred rpm above that. If you don't adjust your EEC limiter, it will come on before the 6al limiter.

Re: What ignition setup for 7,000 rpm or greater shifts?
For some strange reason, he'd rather use the EEC rev limiter instead of the MSD.
What is your reasoning for this, Ed?
