[DeTomaso] ONE COIL ONE PLUG - SHORT WIRES

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Kirby has educated me in more detail on what he did.  I also have the TEC3R ECU and it will not fire the individual coils unless you also add a booster box like the MSD DIS-4 but total added investment is small. Again thanks Kirby, Julian and all  for feedback.

Julian,

Yep, you are correct. It's called waste spark.

I use a TEC3r which triggers the MSD DIS-4 and then two coils in parallel.

Congratulations! You got a DEAL on the 8521!!! They are RARE! I have one, too. But I worry about the day when it goes south.
Going back to batch fire would be an option....

Later,
Kirby

You can also cut down an existing distributor and fabricate one if you desire.
