Re: [VintageLambo] Re: 400GTstatus and build sheet info

Hi Bob, I use an MSD-6A unit on a single distributor that is derived from an early Jaguar V12 distributor. The internal pickup is from Chrysler and the "rotor" is aluminum with 12 ferrous rods spaced at 30 degree intervals.I wrote a narrative about the setup on Fred"s site at: http://www.geocities.com/lamboguy/MSD.html It still uses the passenger side cam for drive with the original Lamborghini setup on the bottom of the distributor. I can provide additional information if you are interested.BTW, the system works well. Of course, I don"t have any cold starting issues here in San Diego.

I know a guy in San Antonio who once drove 300 miles or more in his Espada 6, and still cruised over 70. Whose breakerless ignition did you use, and how did it help the cold starting capability?
