Timing retard

Jim Storms · 07-18-2011, 07:58 PM

Curious, i would like the option to retard the timing on the starting line on the stocker, but be able to have it back down track if needed, i currently have a 7 AL2 what are my best options?

7530 MSD digital 7 box. Launch retard feature, program desired retard and the time you want it left in; the box does the rest. super simple to operate.

MSD offers a retard box that plugs/wires in with the 7AL-2, I had one on my car, I had a switch hooked up on the shifter that when it was in low it advanced the timing and as soon as I went to second it went back to normal timing. It is simple and does work, you can wire it to retard in low also. I like Tom's idea a little better you can bring it in sooner and control the rate. But, what I had worked with my Ing that I already have. Hope this helps.
