Dale,

the bulbs you intend to turn on, do those bulbs have two wires [bat & ground?] Are the wires accessible?

If so, the MSD three step can apply either bat + or ground to one side of the bulb. The other bulb wire will either be connected to bat + or ground as needed.

You can experiment with the setup by using a 3000 chip to test each function.

Dale,

might not be clear, of course I understand the bulbs have bat + and ground. Question, do you have access to the bulb wires [that is to say, the wires are not part of a solid state board.]

about those bulbs, when you find yourself in a hole, quit digging :}

It's the small MSD light that requires an rpm switch. I was hoping that using a 2 or 3 step would let me activate it at 2 different rpms without trick wiring. Problem is I got all cute and moved my tach into the dash to hide the race car look. Now I can't see my stage rpm with out taking my eyes off the tree.

. Probably just fab a bracket and get it up on the dash or cage mount it.

Yea! Yea! Yea! Yea!

Super parts are in house. One head and intake ready to install. Second head coming next week.

Check out these usual views.

More progress;

waiting on the other head and it will be re-installed in it's Super compartment

Dragsinger · 05-28-2016, 02:36 PM

The Super engine is as far along as parts allow. I expect to have the other head and engine re-installed next week.

Dragsinger · 05-28-2016, 02:39 PM

The wiring rework will finish this week while waiting on the cylinder head.

The wires hanging down will clear the track OK if I keep the wheels up.

Dragsinger · 06-03-2016, 07:11 PM

I received word today {Friday June 3rd} that the new, replacement head is finished and shipped. YEA, YEA, YEA!

The Super engine will be finished and re-installed right away.

These photos show more progress with organizing the wiring.

Also, the Super 10 is on the rack ready for engine re-install.

And the XS D1600 battery I decided to install.

Dragsinger · 06-07-2016, 07:38 PM

YEA X 10 and YEA!

The new cylinder head is scheduled to arrive tomorrow [Wed June 8th]

The engine will be finished and in the Super 10 right away.

I have my eye on a July 9th bracket race at Texas Motorplex. Plus two or three more bracket races for tuning both truck and driver.

Then Lucas D 4 race at Thunder Road [Shreveport LA] in September
