MSD ignitions and coil packs

[Andrade]

I have no idea about the argument, can someone post some knowledge? Are there any ways to amplify the spark given by coilpacks on a carbd engine?

Be more specific please. MSD what ??? 6 -7 -8 digital or only the coil's.

 

No dizzy means cranktrigger to get signal.

Was having a chat with dad the other day and he said when he installed his MSD he saw significant improvement in the engine's idling and overall performance. his is a lotus twincam engine, running a coil of course. The module is like the below:

 

 

 

I am assuming this is not suitable for Zetecs since they do not have a distributor nor a coil. I was going through the MSD site and came across this section: http://www.msdignition.com/info.aspx?taxid=4&taxid2=108

 

however I am still at a loss about how these actually work on a modern engine, and if they exist for 4 cylinders like the zetec

came across this one:

What your dad sayed is very true.

Have four cars running MSD 6AL with good results. ( Capri 2600 & Capri 3000 & Capri V8 & Ford F250 V8 )

But MSD 6 series boxes are designed to run a single coil and a dizzy so it wont work on a Zetec engine.

 

Might take a look at their website to see what you options are

went for a leap in the dark on this one, found these coilpacks marketed as a direct replacement for the focus zetec, i am hoping they are fine. it's now at my garage attached to retroford coilpack bracket:
