Re: third gen camaro bbc/t56 coil per cylinder

im converting my bbc gen 6 454 to run the ls1 coils and msd ls ignition box 6010.the main reason im doing is because msd 6010 box a lot cool features 2 step.start retard nitrous timming and u could hook to laptop and costum tune the timming . and it looks a little cooler to not to have distributer wires all over the place.will post more pics when im done.

Re: third gen camaro bbc/t56 coil per cylinder

here the update i got the oscillocope and tested the crank trigger .it has no signal when the engine turns over.it has no signal reason being that i have a aftermarket timing set so the crank sprocket is thicker than my stock by 0.100 .i will be going to the machine shop to cut some thickness of the crank sprocket.
thickness right now is 0.556 needs to be 0.456

Re: third gen camaro bbc/t56 coil per cylinder

That looks pretty sweet! Is the distributor a GM piece? I wonder if that could be adapted to a Pontiac?

Re: third gen camaro bbc/t56 coil per cylinder

this is works on the gen 6 bbc engine 454 or 502.might also work on the 96-99 vortec 350.before installing the relucter wheel make sure your crank sprocket is .450 thick.i had a aftermarket cloyes gear with were thicker .556. the problem was the sensor would not pick up the signal

msd 6010 box with harness $320
24x sensor $92.50 http://www.eficonnection.com/eficonn...spx?ItemId=334 1x Cam Sync Distributor $125 http://www.eficonnection.com/eficonn...spx?ItemId=623
24x Crank Reluctor BBC $75 http://www.eficonnection.com/eficonn...spx?ItemId=333
