Default Re: 3sp to 4sp manual

I want to update from the Mopar electronic race ignition to an MSD. What is the difference between the 6AL and the 6AL-2. Both have 2 step and listed output is simular. Both are suppose to work with the Mopar distributor. Anyone have a preference.

Does anyone know if Bob Sharp is still racing his A/S Camero?
Bob has a A/S 427 fairlane

As long as the bellhousing is SFI certified. Or can be recertified, then you might be able to use what you have. The bellhousings without windows has to be recertified every 5 years. The ones with a window every 2 years. Lakewood had bellhousings that used I believe 3/8" bolts and those will not recertify. It was a money ploy to make people buy new bellhousings this would have been around 1998 to 2004, so you may need to look into that before spending money on shipping only to find out that the shipping company made money and you have to buy a new bellhousing.

The dual 7" clutch is the wiz bang clutch and the tuning window is really wide. That is what I run, but there is nothing wrong with the 10" clutch that Advanced has. Whatever you do, get a clutch that is setup with low base pressure. Otherwise it's a parts killer, or a compromise to getting launch and high gear dialed in with the clutch tune.

Bob had a 427 Fairlane. He sold it and built a '67 Camaro 396-375 now converted to a '68. Did he sell his Fairlane to the west coast boys?

Bob Sharp sold the first one to Robert Pond. Then the Camaro and now he is back in another 427 Fairlane.

Go over to Yellow Bullet if you want to rub it in peoples butts. You started it in the deep staging thread now you're doing it here.
Kenny if I'm wrong tell me so.

My goodness, you have my apologies. I didn’t mean to offend you.

Usually, someone with your level of vitriol has a problem with alcohol. Here’s a group that might help you:

You didn't insult me pea brain you were rude to a new poster before you knew anything about him. I do not and never have had an alcohol problem but your posting history does show you have an abundant lack of brain cells.

James it appears that I owe a appology concerning the 4sp in stock. I really thought that I read it in the updates but I do not see it in the rule book at all. I believe that this would be rather easy to update with NHRA since the auto trans rule is very similar between S and SS, I am refering to the number of forward gears.

Thanks

Robert

This not correct then?
Someone from a concerned party needs to ask why not.
