You can easily upgrade to spark-control when you feel ready.

Just lock the advance plate in the dizzy and run the VR signal to the ignition input on MS/MS2, and then the ignition output from MS to the VR input on the MSD-6AL unit. keep everything else as it is.

Of course you can also do waste ...

uS on 3 or 6 pot

There aren't three ignition drivers, so Coil On Plug is out of the question. With two ignition drivers in a waste spark setup, you would need two cylinders to fire at the same time; possible with your 180° crank, not 120° unfortunately.

If you use a cam sensor with a 3 hole rotor for a 3-pot ...

How does MS know when synchronizing with the crank trigger if it's on the first or the second rev of the engine cycle as shown in the pictures below? The pictures show the position of the distributor rotor.

In the second case, it would either fire cylinder 3 really late or cylinder 4 really early ...

The 60-2 wheel + msd, distributor should work with the MS II beta code (v2.672x7b). If it is set up to fire once every 24 teeth, the dizzy should take care of the routing.
Thanks a million times!! That's all I need to know!
3 DIY-kits is in the mail!! :D :D

Using MS1/Extra, the 60-2 wheel and a single window dizzy as cam sync you should be able to run distributor spark or COP if you wish.

5 cylinder COP on MS1/Extra ?? Is that possible ??
Wasted spark is not an option (uneven no. of cylinders)

So the MS II code does'nt support a 60-2 wheel (even beta) ?

"Coil per plug can be achieved with a crank wheel and single-tooth cam wheel OR a dual wheel cam setup OR a missing-tooth cam-wheel alone."

According to the MSnSe thread, I should use 60-0 wheel at the crank and a single tooth wheel on ...

oops!!

I just realized that the dizzy will be out of phase for one of two sparks. :oops:
to make this work the MS must fire on every 24. tooth. ( 5 times / 720 crank-degrees).

is there a 10cyl edis ??? (worst case senario)


I really need to work out the setup so I can order the parts.
The car arrives ...

60-2 crank pickup on 5cyl audi??

I'm currently planning a MS'ed 2.5litre 5cylinder audi engine for my 4000q, and I vould HATE using the distributor for ignition pickup.

Is it possible to use a 60-2 crank wheel and a MSD 6 CD unit with a single coil. distributing through the original 5-way dissy?

I can't see why not ( 60 / 5 = 12 ...
