Thanks for the information. Mine is the LC-2.

So far I haven't even thought about doing anything more than looking over at it occasionally during a run. But I will see about pulling more detailed run data out of it soon. The connectors are reasonably accessible at least.

Dave- When do you expect to be at Pomona before the race? I need to get with you on something Chevelle related.We can meet up at the track very easily.

I had a lot of weird electrical problems when I had my MSD box mounted close to my other wiring.

One should look at the use of an easy to fabricate Faraday Cage, but opinions often vary. However, they are common on critical electronics in military and aerospace applications.
One need only look at most racecar wiring and wonder why. LOL

Bit more info. You know those wallets that protect the ID stripe on your credit cards? That's a Faraday Cage, an enclosure that stops outside electrical or radio interference. It is a fabric available from Amazon or just steel screen. For a race application you would build a box frame of aluminum covered with steel screen to cover electronics prone to interference. My Digital 8, IMS air/fuel controller, IMS data interface (SSI 4+) and an SD reader are all in one place on the trans hump and my collection of relays and power connections is on the passenger floor. The hump should be caged.


Something new for me this season is an RV style digital amp meter. It's wired to a shunt at the battery ground and reads amp draw as I turn on accessories. I have it wired to a double pole/double throw switch and can reverse it to read amps going into the battery (charging). Like, $20.

I always use this:
