Default Ignition
The OEM Ford module does not have the ability to support high compression high RPM engines. It was developed to provide a stable maintainence free system for smog era engines. (Lean Mixtures, & eliminated the ignition points and related dwell change.) Go to a MSD, or the re labled (BLUE) Ford Motorsport/Racing (MSD manufactured) or similar type set up that has the ability to switch the current necessary for high output electronic ignition coils. Double check all the primary voltage connections too, as they can be the source of headaches such as this.

Been there done that..............Rick

The MSD is the standard for the 9000 RPM NASCAR boys, it will work for us!
