no, the timing doesn't change. i think all you're doing is changing the way the coil fires when you add the 6AL.

If you get your msd to work, let me know, i installed mine, and my car hasn't run the same since.

Blitz,

I used Mazspeed's write up to set mine up. Cranked right up, no problems.

However.... I have had about ~1-2mpg DROP in my mileage. I'm not rompin' either.

Any thoughts?

i hope i'm not insulting you, but if i am then you have my deepest apologies ...

did you take out the "test" plug out of the rev limiter and put in one of the high RPM ones?
