Ignition box suggestions

Willyracer · 09-24-2019, 12:34 AM

Looking to see what ignition box guys are using for
a stocker. We have a BBC stocker . Having a intermittent
Problem of the ignition dying . Looks like the MSD digital 7 is
Illegal for stock? Like being able to program timing retard
For bracket racing. Is the MSD grid system my only choice?
The 7530t is no longer made and looking for a replacement
New to stock class racing
Thanks

Using a 7AL3 LT1 with crank trigger and optispark. No problems so far.

Thanks. I have 2 spare 7AL from my bracket
Racing days Didn't know what the best system
is now days. Heard some people having trouble
With the grid system. Don't know if that is correct

Thanks for the reply

I run a Grid in my Stocker and absolutely love it.
Several others, in our group, are also using it with no issues.

Ok
Good to hear from someone using it and
Likes it. I was leaning towards the grid
Thanks

You won’t be disappointed with the grid I have three of them
I would suggest to use the black box with the controller they were meant to be together
Most of the trouble I hear with them is that people get in there and try to do too much they get lost or have the safety run feature on
I just keep it simple and have no problems in the last four or so years with it

I run the grid in my car as well. The only issue I've had was the shift light not coming on correctly but that was a user error not a product issue. I'm really happy with it and will be replacing the 7AL with a Grid in the other car this winter.
