Some older pics of the original mod to the ignition.
It's ironic that I posted the above setup about 2 years ago stating how this mod was so much better than the factory coil over plug setup.
I was ragged to no end saying that I had no proof of the mod, no dyno charts, and only a butt dyno feel for what I thought was a better ignition.
Now I see this thread and feel like I've been screwed for an idea that when all is said and done, proven to be a good thing.
What's up with that?
I paid no more than $125 for parts from the junkyard for the basic setup and have since added the MSD coils with an MSD DIS-2 ignition system.
Sure, I wasn't the only one to have done this but when I did this mod, had no clue something like this was even thought of.
I completely thought of the idea on my own.
No one helped and did a complete rewiring of the orginal 2.2 ICM to achieve a base for the coils to work with my setup.
I was joyous with the results thinking that it would help out the fellow j-body members with a how-to, and all information on how to do it but got flamed bigtime.
I've since enjoyed the benefits of this modification and remained quiet about how useful it really is.
I'm sorry for breaking into this thread but felt that I needed to vent a bit on something that didn't seem justified at the time it happened.
Flame me for my post here and I'm not trying to plague the progress of what is being done here.
But I feel justice is not served here when a person finds a good thing, is flamed for it because there was not "proof" given for the modification, and then see the same modification being presented as a proven mod to help with better spark, mileage, etc, and making a profit.
I'm not a crybaby and anyone that has known me over the years knows that I'm a cool customer with things.
Thank you for listening and wish this a success to all.
If anything, I'm glad that things are going good with what I'm seeing but really hate the fact that I was treated like sh*t when I posted it on the org about 2 years ago.
I also know that there is an easier way to do this ignition mod and reading some of the thread see how it's coming along.
I'm just saddened that I was downtrodden for having an idea that is now accepted.
I hope I'm not banned now for making this post and to TwistedMotorsports, you should know that I DID NOT STEAL the idea from anybody.
I found out that it was already done only by the individuals telling me that it had already been done and I wasn't the first to have thought this up.
Now that I've read that certain people hate me because they think I stole an idea, they're completely misinformed.
I'm an hones J-body enthusiast.
I help fellow J-body enthusiasts and bend over backwards to help.
I'm really sorry if anyone does think bad of me but that is not the case.
Again, good luck with this and hope this takes off with success.
I've had this setup for two years now and have not had one bit of problems with the setup.
Ultra reliable and with the MSD DIS-2 and MSD coils, have more than enough spark.
I'm still using the full .060 gap on my plugs whereas I was previously using .045 with the stock ignition setup.
To those that had this idea originally, thanks for helping out the J-body community.
Just like me finding this thread out of boredome on a Friday night, don't know what's happening until you actually read up on it.
This thread was a big surprise for me and an eye opener.
