[DeTomaso] ONE COIL ONE PLUG - SHORT WIRES

I have been looking at the TEC3 too, it seems a reasonable compromise on the cost vs. performance scale over a MOTEC. My tuner also likes the DTAFast out of the UK www.dtafast.co.uk and swears its as good as a MOTEC at half the cost, but each tuner has his/her preferences I guess.

I've seen some cam syncs made from old distributors cut down. MSD also has the universal cam sync PN 2346 now, which I think requires installing a magnet in the cam gear and a non magnetic pickup in the timing cover. 

 

I also see an MSD inductive unit PN 8916 on sale that hooks to the #1 spark plug wire, but that to my mind seems dodgy being an indirect measurement and may not even work with multiple spark or waste spark systems. If that was a choice I assume a crank trigger would be equally reliable, but its still not a true cam signal.

 

Cheers,

Julian
