Will a MSD-8500 kit work with our cars?

My motor is carbd and from what it sounds it would work, but summitracing.com states that I would only work with motors up to the 80's?

Just need no know if it worked, And if so...How well did it work for you?

Thanks in Advance

 

The .pdf instructions show installation with the 7-pin module. Sounds like it works.

 

Probably because it's for non-computer controlled engines. Our cars (3rdgens) are computer controlled.

 

Again, the instructions refer to how to hook it up to an ignition with a 7-pin module. That's the computer-controlled large-cap HEI. '82-'86 carb'd (US-delivered) had that system.

 

True, the installation.pdf at the bottom of the page is correct.
I was refering to the Summit application search results from the link MyFast3rdgen provided.

A search may lead others to the same conclusion.

MSD doesn't list the 8500 kit on it's product page and a seach for 8500 yields only an image of both non-ECM and ECM systems.
Product number range 8423 thru 8739 http://www.msdignition.com/1media_imagesB.html

Here's the image. http://www.msdignition.com/media/images/8500_kit.jpg

 

I thought it pluged in outside the cap...not in side the cap, or....i'm just really confused now.
The disb. I got on my car now is not computer cotrolled, however I do not know how many pins I got,

 

Can you post a picture of what you have, internals as well?

 

That would have been good to know from the beginning. If that's the case, then the earlier applications they listed do apply to you.

If you have a "standard" large cap HEI, it's a 4-pin. Bypassing the module is actually a good thing.
