Ok, so the cars wrong but....

Todays toil was excellent, 1961 Covette was 289 now 303 ci was originally carter carbed but today we swopped her to an EFI setup using a TPI kit from a mid 80's Camaro all running from MS

Got some starnge looks driveing the beast around with a laptop connected up, certainly caused a stir with a few visitors to Claremont Corvette, where the car is located.

a few pix, chromius alert !









Next one is a 424 Big Block in an LT3, with manual trans

Hmm, need to find a better home for some lazy SB power, the '61 was spinning the rears on a full throttle kickdown, 3 speed auto

Forgive the slightly OT nature, but this is one transplant that neds to be done( again , there was a 350 chevy powered e30 that belonged to a zoner waaaay back in the day)

You can use MS in conjunction with a conventional dizzy?

Way cool ride - pimp!

[Ant]

Maurice, yes dude you can indeed, jumper for opto-in and she'll run from a conventional dizzy, MSD, Mallory HEI, TFI or whatever, this is actually the generic application for the hardware.

This one is running the Mallory HEi type so although its a dizzy in the mechanical sense, its actually controlled via the ECU as were using the optical trigger and 8 rotors as an ECU trigger( as per the 60-2 we use on motronic ) to give engine speed and position to the MS, with the coil discharge timing controlled via the ECU.

Fully 3D mappable fuel and spark, had to be done.

[Speedtouch]

Too right, thanks for explaining that Ant - I'm even more tempted to have a go at a MS conversion now

[fowler]

320ise do th MS conversion its awesome totally transforms throttle response
car feels allive !!!

[Speedtouch]

Cheers dude - shall look into it (seems I've gone and knackered my 535i's Moronic anyway...)

Now where did I leave that.....

pmsl , is dam cool

[toby]

Great set up mate! The car is a bit wrong but it is beautifully styled and now presumably a lot less thirsty on fuel. Got any pictures of the front of it? So you're in Tom's good books again then?

[e30_Turbo]

Nice ride! I see what you mean now, £75k gone....WOW

I'm sure grandad would appreciate a big block up her!
