As I recall stock fuel pressure is 4-6psi. If its in a rail ya might want to consider ditching the stock Nikki for a Sterling Nikki or another carb.

As for the dizzy, what else are you running for ignition? NGK plugs? Stock coils??

Hrmm. My first thought was that you were using some sort of bagillion volt aftermarket coil that was burning them out.

If you keep roasting them, you may just want to switch to direct fire. Go to the First Generation section and look in the FAQ or do a search and look for the 2nd gen direct fire coversion. Basically you scrounge an ignition coil and controller from a 2nd generation RX-7 and use that instead of the distributor.

Experts: Would it matter what year of coil hes using? If its an older SA motor with a mechanical distributor or a newer FB motor with the electronic distributor.
