Well guys, after one year of waiting (and big bucks) , I last week finally
received my engine back from the pro shop in Oregon. Won't know for a couple
of months yet whether she has the 180-190 hp. and smooth street performance I
am told it will have with its multiple Keihin carb set up. The engine looks
simply stunning, but as we all know, appearances can be decieving. I have
yet to break it in, and then later tune it for optimum performance on my local
shop's new dyno( to be installed in Feb. or March 06). Given the engine's
substantial modifications and improvements, I have been told by the rebuilder
that I should strongly consider replacing my standard Lucas distributor,
Pertronix ingition and sport coil with the Mallory special order electrical
distributor (with a cable driven tach----pricey at $500) and also their high
performance ignition. This supposedly will enable me to have the most
flexibility in setting advance and tuning this 10 to 1 compression bad boy.
1.) Do
you guys agree? 2.) Also, I do not have a set of high performance ignition
wires to complement this set up. I just have the stock green wires purchased
some time ago from TRF. I searched the club's tech articles, as well as my
many back issues of 6-Pack to no avail for a recommendation. Mallory does not
appear to sell a wiring set up for our engines. Can someone steer me in the
direction of a distributor of high performance ignition wiring for our
engines....preferably one who sells the complete made to fit harness system?
Is
there a company called Moroso that makes ignition wires? Thank you guys!
