Well I got a MSD blaster 2 coil today and I installed it and It was pretty noticeable difference but I remember hearing about that I have to take out some resistor when I put a high end coil in. Is this true? And where is it if so?

 

Uh I guess... no?

 

It depends... what do the instructions say? I have a Mallory 6AL & MSD Blaster II coil... no resistors (except for the tach).

 

^^^same here, except with a Crane XR3000 & MSD coil

 

I dont have any control box, but I have the MSD coil, I'll double read the instructions. Maybe I missed something @.@

OH My coil didnt come with a resistor, I'm talking is there a stock resistor on the Z car that I need to remove?

 

Ah... nope. If it works good, and your tach still works... you did it right.

 

Well everything works! I just need to get a coil mount as I REALLY dont like the tape method of holding it inside the old coil mount lol

 

Yeah, you would think they would include the bracket/mount with the coil... I put some cardboard around mine for a while, then bought the stupid mount.

 

Ya then again its about the size of a normal coil just the Z car coils are larger for some reason... not sure why yet

 

Hows the title hunt going?

 

Ugh dont ask T.T I have 3 problems, The car is in a million pieces, I forgot How to get the oil pump gear on right so the dizzy is right, and as for the title I hit ANOTHER brick wall, I'm just going to have to go through the state BS to get it. And If I was going to part it out, Were can I put all the parts and I dont think I can bring myself to cutting up a good Z body @.@ Well lest the inner shell and floor pan hardly has rust

 

Don't you just line up the two dots and throw it in?

 

^^^ Yep.

 

... *now feels like an idiot*

I'm talking about the Gear on the crank and the gear on the driveshaft for the pump, is that what your talking about? if so Im shocked I missed something so simple @.@

Set motor @ TDC, line up oil pump dots, shove in. The top should look like this:

 

Figures @.@ But thank you very much, Now I just gotta get 30 year old gasket off the timing chain cover...

 

You might hear people say "use a razor blade". I say, eff that... pneumatic surfacing kits FTW!

 

Oh thats nice but what about a sand blaster? Or would that eat the metal, even on a low PSI with low media output?

Sense thats all I have to really work with atm lol

 

Sandblasting the motor doesn't seem like a good idea, with all those coolant and oil passages haha

unless you are talking about the timing cover

 

I do mean the cover lol the engine Im putting it on the gaskets didnt have any damage to them so they just pealed off, the motor is only 5 year sold with like 6 miles lol

 

Lucky. My engine is 29 years old and from what I've been told has nearly "500,000 miles" on it. I would say blast it and make the whole thing nice and shiny, but I don't know how that would affect the sealing of the gasket...

 

Idk either thats what worries me, I'll be blasting it with aluminum oxide or w/e its called

And sucks for you XD my main Zs engine has 170K

 

BP, but what is that thing under the intake manifold by the TB? The boost controlled deceleration devise? If the name says what it means, what is the purpose of that? emissions?
