OK, well you're not going to gain big power by changing the ignition around on the 4AG, but you will gain by not having the dizzy cap in your way NA 4 potters generally don't have enormous ignition troubles, even with dizzystribulutors, simply because being NA they never realise the cylinder pressures of something turbo'd (yes, I realise nitrous will change all that....), and also because there are still only half as many spark events as an 8 cylinder engine. Usually if there's ignition breakdown there, it's because there's something weak about the ignition system in the first place. (i.e. crap coil) I wouldn't bother with CDI, especially if you're using 4 coils. By ditching the dizzy though, you not only gain from being able to make it fit under the bonnet, have less ignition noise, less places to leak, etc. Do what you've said you will and be happy. Oh yeah, I detest dizzystribulutors, by the way! Does anyone remember back to the days when someone would have a Ford V8 with a blower on it, and have a dizzy belt driven off the front of the engine? The things people did before the IC and the transistor were invented! [Report message to a moderator]
