Dear All,
I would like to implement a Dual Ignitron System Thunderbolt IV & MSD6 AL on my boat. In case my OE System fails I have a backupsystem on
board. For the ignition advance I have purchased a extra Thunderbolt Ignnition amplifier.
I will have one OEM distributor and one cut out swich. Who can work on my wiring schematic attached & let me know if my wiring is OK.
I want to use a toggle switch & shut off the OEM system.
Is the +12 igntion on the coil is supplying other componments on the engine.
Sometimes the real wiring is different to the schematic.
I think I need to supply the Hall Switch from the distributor with separate +12V, otherwise I have no trigger signal when I switch to MSD system.
correct?
Here a draft of my schematic diagram.
Now why I am doing this ? I would like to have a direct comparison if an MSD will perform better as the 20 year old design of mercruiser.
My point are related to hot start and performance.
