I am looking at ideas for upgrading the ignition system.

First thing that comes to mind are the Nology Hotwire sparkplug leads. Does anyone know of an Australian Distributor?

Also a MSD 6AL Multi Spark Capacitor Discharge Ignition system. (or something similiar) I believe that 2 of these are required for the V8 (one for each coil?)

Any suggestions people?

Unless you are planning 400+rwkw just leave the standard system alone.

Make sure all the plugs/leads/dizzys/caps/connections are all in good condition and you'll have no worries.

The stock setup has more than enough punch.

Now wouldn't that be nice!!!

Another Forum (Lextreme)has suggested that any FI application on the 1uz when running above 8psi then an ignition upgrade should be considered. So I am curious as to what other members may be doing or considering as there are quite a few around that are above 8psi.

Im planning to replace the majority of my ignition system before anything else is done. Some times I feel its missing when you put the gas on a bit but I may just be something else, Only does it for a split second...

Still would be nice to know the electrics would be mint for 15 more years once all replaced! Will be Expensive but doesnt worry me!
