396 Stocker Motor won't RPM

GTX JOHN · 11-24-2014, 05:31 PM

I had similar problem at Finals this year.

Lost 1.2 in ET and 12 MPH final qualifier.

Msd checked coil ( Red big HVC/2 ) at a their booth.......Said Fine!

Jon Jr. put new coil on at PSCA and car ran perfect!

I was hoping to find out what add-on module Bobby was using on his 6AL-2. I've been looking for a way to add a third "step" limiter to my system, but from what I've been able to research the -2 has no compatible add-on module available from MSD, just the two built-in settings. I may have to upgrade to another box to take advantage of that third step.

This is the module that I am running.

Bobby did you ever fix the 396? I had one do that years ago it was a piece of trash in one of the main jets.

Track closed for the year before I could make another run. When I pulled the motor I did find the wire coming from the alternator had been cut and was wedged between the motor and the frame. Could be the alternator was shorting out the electrical system and causing issues. I will still replace the launch rpm module this winter just incase.
