JCFrieb Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 This is the first time I've seen this thread and WOW is all I can say.

ErikS Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 MSD 6A amplifier Halve your plug, cap, and rotor change intervals. Check your wire resistance more often. I'm sure you already knew this. Digging your recent changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to hammer it flat , and bend the tang ends 180º so that they act as spring clips to retain the MSD 6A Halve your plug, cap, and rotor change intervals. Check your wire resistance more often. I'm sure you already knew this. Digging your recent changes. Thanks for the heads up. I'm getting NGK R5672a-8's on Chris's recommendation. I normally change cap, rotor, plugs every year (10-12k). Wires I usually let go to 30K. I'll keep an eye on the resistance values. I dont understand why your car is so clean ALL the time Actually, it needs a wash i . love . your . wagon. well, thank you! This is the first time I've seen this thread and WOW is all I can say. Your wagon is amazing, great job cataloging all of your upgrades. Gives all of us something to shoot for someday... Thanks! I have to document things, or I just forget :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj240 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Any feedback on your MSD 6A box? I've had this box on all my old American V8's, and always wondered why I rarely see them on Import/European cars... See any difference?

NEU Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Wood trim wheel, R dash (& processor) w/surround sound (already had the SC-901) How you liking the surround? I love mine, especially when listening to good stereo songs, like the Beatles. It turns that wagon in to a concert hall! Also I used a MSD 6a one my '89 Opel Kadett GSi, w/Accel 40K volt coil and Accel High voltage distributor module . I would go thru Bosch coppers like crazy! But love the performance from MSD.

Dave 54 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I dont understand why your car is so clean ALL the time Because silver and white don't show the dirt as bad. And sir you have one nice XC, love every aspect of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the surround, but the speaker is not of the same quality as the rest of my system, so if I crank it - the center sounds shiesty No one replied to my ? over @ V70R in audio regarding replacement speakers for that....

Its basically 5 1/4" 8 ohm (includes separate tweeter)- BUT the magnet is on top instead of below - very shallow profile & ZERO room for any conventional magnet spkr..
