REFLECTOR: MSD Ignition, (was dual Plasma IIIs)

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

Sid, 


Well, I have the aluminum block 4.3L V-6 in mine. So I can only answer for that type of install. 


Yes, Same company as hot rodders. Great support & great service. 
Distributor based in my application
Dual reluctor wheels (magnetic pickups) stacked in the distributor. (I know you can get magnetic pickups for distributorless as well). 
Using 2- msd blaster coils.
Made my own wires from MSD kit. 


The MSD setup I have is either one ignition or the other, Not both. When I switch between them (or the fuel pumps) you can't even hear a miss. 
I'd be interested to hear the lyc setup myself.

For Steve and Kurt and whoever else has MSD experience...
Questions about the MSD:
1) are these the same MSD that the hot rodders use?
2) how do they pick up the triggering info (timing)?
3) does each MSD have its own pickup?
4) how do they know about the advance curve for a Lycoming?
5) what coils do they use?
6) if 1) is yes, how do you handle the transition from the 'automotive' 
world ignition wire ends to the aircraft sparkplug ends?
