Msd

[wheelsup60]

As you know dynoed the motor weeks ago everything fine. Put it in the car and waited for a nice to to fire it up Msd box took a shit. Would have rather spent the money on something else.:(

Justin thanks but that's way overkill for my combo. Don could use it on that top fuel hemi though.

[Pat Powers]

I have a Brand New 75301 in the box.

[Purple66bu]

[outlawssaa]

You are such a funny guy. Let me guess, you got the Direct Connection purple camshaft too.

John,your starting to scare me.You know to much about mopar stuff.I didn't want anyone to know about that purple shaft,they might be abel to adapt it to a chevy.LOL

[Purple66bu]

wouldnt want to hurt dons 6 cylinder . remeber it only has a 2 bbl. so the fire from that box would blow a hole in his piston . that was a slant 6 right don. thats why you have all that torque:eek:

Ordered a new one. Should be here tommorow. Didn't want to risk sending it in for repair and not getting it back in time. This way I'll have a spare for you and me.;)

[retired07]

John,your starting to scare me.You know to much about mopar stuff.I didn't want anyone to know about that purple shaft,they might be abel to adapt it to a chevy.LOL Come on Don. Everyone knows the secret about the purple cam and the Direct Connection ignition box that Dennis posted up. I had a friend that put those top secret parts on his 68 Baccaruda back in about 1978 or so. He used to get really corked off when I told him it was a tuna boat.

That was fast!! You program yours with a laptop Steve?

Yes Sir I sure do.

[outlawssaa]

I wonder if I can use a laptop on my Direct Connection ign box?

[Purple66bu]

Yes Sir I sure do.
In the years ive known you Steve ive never seen you with a laptop..would have bet $$$ there was just a 7al2 in the car...

[retired07]

I wonder if I can use a laptop on my Direct Connection ign box? If you want I will help you try. Maybe we could talk Dave into helping too. I thought earlier you said you had a dual point distributor. What's up with that?? Mr. fessin up.

[wheelsup60]

In the years ive known you Steve ive never seen you with a laptop..would have bet $$$ there was just a 7al2 in the car...

I really hated giving up my dual point and Accel super coil. But with that ultra high compression 283 I needed more firepower.:eek: I had to succumb to new age technology.....kicking and screaming.

[wheelsup60]

I can help you out there Don. We can do a poor man's 7-4 cam swap for you, just switch the plug wires. Dave told me that secret works well on Hemi's. Let me know if you need any more help.:D

John,I've progressed from the duel point to the D.C. chrome box.I guess I'll try Dave and Steve's new hemi speed secret.I just hope the plug wires are long enough.

Saw this on Yellowbullit. Do you think it's got anything to do with it? Sounds pretty twitchy.

Welcome to the 7530T club, what you have run into plenty have already seen. The boxes are false triggering the T/C detect circuit and putting itself in limp mode. Like mentioned before the common cure is to pull power off the box completely for at least 12 hours and the alarm should clear. Please check to make sure All your trigger signal connections are clean and tight. What you want to do is make sure you are not creating noise on the Magnetic trigger input that the box thinks is T/C related. We have seen leaky coil wires cause RF noise to feed into the trigger circuit and shut the boxes down. Most of the national kids will have two boxes at the races, one on the car & one in the trailer. Granted not all can go this route but that leaves making sure not to induce any noise into the box that could be thought to be T/C. I hope this helps!

Wow, That sounds exactly like what was happening with Steve's ? I wonder if puttin a Filter on would help supress any noise if that is indeed the problem ?

[retired07]

Is that the same box that Big Pete and Justin had problems with last year?

[wheelsup60]

Thanks everyone for all the help I appreciate it. Talked to Msd tech yest. we ran a bunch of tests and his answer was beats the heck out of me. Do you have another box to try. Uh-oh.

amazing but exactly what i thought MSD would say..wtf they make the damn thing but they never know or want to admit to what is wrong..got to be somethin stupid

[wheelsup60]

Sent the old (3-days-old) one back yesterday. The new one should be here on Thursday. Meantime I'm checking and rechecking all the wiring. I plan on putting the new one in on Thurs and going to Dagrove to test.

[Greg StickaDude]

that sucks...............hope u get it figured out!

[retired07]

I plan on putting the new one in on Thurs and going to Dagrove to test. If you're going to test on Thurs. do you want me to bring the 7AL3 out of my car just in case? I don't know how much different the wiring is between the two, but I know mine works. At least that way maybe it'd narrow down the possibilities.

[SCOTTY K]

Scott,
I also called msd cuz it was killn me lol, They basicly said the same thing that Yo Al posted.. if the safty switch was on the car woundnt leave the line ... it would of acivate limp mode as soon as trans break was released.. A freind of mine has same box and he for got to switch it and his car wouldnt go a foot after releasing the trans brake it would run on all 8 but not rev with out cutn out...

sorry i couldnt find anything ...

Thanks John. Can I get back to you tomorrow after I get the box in?

[Pat Powers]

The digital box is pretty much plug and play, where as the 7AL3 requires hard wireing. So if you wanted to make up some whips, the transition from box to box shouldn't be that bad if you had to do it at the track.

Good Luck !

Steve, I just found out that when that function is triggered, the box either has to be reset by the NHRA/MSD or the box has to be left powered for up to 24hrs for that code to clear. Violent tire shake or alot of vibration will cause that box to go into that mode.

Tire shake? Are these race cars or wuss cars. Had tire shake this weekend, guess what. Box is screwing up again. Don gave me 7AL-3 putting that in. Msd sucks.

That is the box required by the NHRA for use in Pro Stock, that function is their means of eliminating Traction Control as found in the other Box's. If your going to purchase another box, buy the 7531.
