Restomod Racing

A guy that Keith met wanted him to switch his poorly running engine with one he bought through the net.  It

is a used rotory with a turbo.   Personally I would have preferred to rebuild the current engine.  Granted the current engine is a smog maker as it creates a smoke screen while driving down the street.   We will see how it all turns out.

Well, Project 351C is finally finished.  The remedy was to install a MSD 6A.  The car runs like a charm.  My

friend took the car home and said that it runs better than it has ever run before.  The car now handles better due to the fixing of the sway bar.  

So now I have made space for Keith to start working a RX7.  It needs an engine transplant.  I think I’ll just sit in front of the computer and let him do all the work.  Life is nice!

After working with MSD and Autometer, we were unable to correct the problem created by the MSD “Ready

to Run” distributor.  The tach wouldn’t work beyond 2000 rpm.  By using a 20 K ohm 1/2 watt resistor (I used resistors up to 46 K ohm 1/2 watt), I could only manage accuracy up to 2500 rpm. I’ve now determined that there are two options, either use a different distributor or use an MSD 6A box.  Once the decisions is made I will let you know the results.
