And, the MSD 6 fires the coil 5 times below 5500 rpm then over 5500 fires the plug twice.
I totally agree. I'm realizing just now that (probably) I've a Victor jr single plane manifold.
But getting a Performer dual plane is too much "invasive" for the moment... I guess more easy to work on the carb tuning. I'm checking if I've a vacuum secondary or not.

Anyway, I understood that you have had a positive feedback about MSD 6. Isn't it ?
