Hey, just wondering what ignition setup everyone is running w/ a Bridge Port. I just recently bought a Jacobs FC1000 and a 2nd Gen leading coil to replace me stock ignition. BTW I have a 1/2 bridge port w/ RB intake, RB exhaust, etc.
So what ignition are you guys running and what seems to be the best combination for a Bridge Ported motor??

quasi on topic, but im glad to see im not the only who bought a Jacobs inigiton

 

I use MSD 6al rev limiter set to 9400rpms. Two MSD Blaster 2 coils. I do not use the direct fire wiring option, I run all coils and plug wires off the distributor. Direct fire is not as efficient above 8000rpms is why.

28.5* total advance on leading, trailing 10* back.

 

alright cool, thanks guys. Ya my power seems to drop off after 8500 rpm. Maybe this is b/c my carb running soooo rich and the stock ignition? DriveFast7, does yours pull strong all the way to 9400?

 

You can run a fuel only computer and keep the dizzy but if you're doing it properly might as well get fuel&ignition computer. I would reccomend 50mm throttle bodies, I have these on both of my PP motors and they are great.

 

I am new to this whole ball game, have any links/ pics to where to buy these 50mm throttle bodies?? Also would these throttle bodies take the place of the carb or get put into the carb itself???

 

Yeah, it makes peah hp @ 9400, pulls nice and strong to there.

I'd get any bugs worked out of the car and put it on a dyno. I spent $250 dynoing mine and it was extremely enlightening how carb and timing changes helped the HP and torque curve. Worth every penny. And I got to see first hand how a jet change affects the air/fuel curve, and have good idea how to jet for air density / temp changes.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

off topic: threadmaker, so is your car your daily driver? ive heard bad things about daily drivers with lightened flywheels and bridge ports, so is it true?

 

Yes they will replace the carb. Drivabilty is greatly improved with injection compared to carby.Mine are EFI Hardware throttle bodies. I'll see if I can find a link for you.

 

Looks like on the bottom pic the site is on the sticker.
