Reiver Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Looking for Magnecor or similar upgraded types available in the US by reference number....I've seen the ones available in England.... any crossover numbers?
MV8 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Magnecor is in Michigan. Part number AU_337 should be correct (C20XE engine) with the wire type and thickness after U. Contact Magnecor. The plug boot length and grommet in combination with the distributor cap terminal is unique to this engine. Some have coil packs instead and those are different too. I would consider taking one of the wires to a local auto parts store to compare the ends to what they have on the shelf, then cross reference. Focus and miata plug ends would be a good place to start. Post your terminal length tip to valve cover top seal and the diameter at the plug and the ribbed middle that helps to keep it centered in the plug well. 1
Reiver Posted March 30 Author Posted March 30 I have the electronic ignition with a coil pack mounted where the dizzy was...thanks for the starting point.
Reiver Posted March 31 Author Posted March 31 (edited) Had an issue with a bit, not much, of muffler/tail pipe, backfiring that is usually a lean condition. I know I am not lean so suspected something in the ignition system. I changed the plugs from the Denso Plats to NGK BCPR 7's and that seemed to fix the issue. Need the cooler plug with the 10.5-1 compression. Cooler day today but we'll see when it is hotter. Looking at the plugs I think # 1 was not working properly.... the residue was not the same as the others and the compression in that cylinder is excellent. I also lightened up that carb throat (idle) a tad that feeds that cylinder. Fun dialing this booger in. Had her up to 90 mph today, pulls great....90 mph in the 7 is like 150 in the Corvette. Same fun. Edited March 31 by Reiver
Reiver Posted April 9 Author Posted April 9 FYI...contacted Magnecor USA and they cannot provide the wires as they don't have the boots..... was told to purchase them OCONUS.... 1
slowdude Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Hmmm. I had magnecor make custom EU2 leads. Are you working with Heather? They were able to find a boot which worked based on measurements i sent them.
