my leading coils are in the stock location. I'm using a pair of plug wires for a big block Mustang (heh, they're good for something!) to reach to the plugs, the trailing coil is mounted on a MSD coil bracket against the firewall on one of the bolts for the AC hard line.

Pretty clean if you ask me, I'll try and get pics sometime soonish.

This is how I set up my direct fire with a motorcycle coil. It works really great and saves space too...

I call it DLIDFIS.

Hey JoseReyes, ever consider moving the Trailing plug wires to the Leading part of the cap? You'll have to loose that one remaining Leading wire thats still there in the pic though. Hmm, I wonder how your voltage is with a shared secondary winding.

Oh wait, that looks like a CD box for a motorcycle?

I have some pics that need to get developed and scanned of my 3 coils. I don't have an RX-7.

It only matters if you plan on installing these parts into a 2nd gen.

Hey Jose, you have a RotaryMaster? What do you think of it? Good, Bad? Worth the money?

In my opinion, after two years of use, I believe it was worth the money. It has a built in ignition disabler just in case that some one likes your car more than you do that when set makes the car run for one minute then it shuts down, then it runs for another minute and shuts down again, this time it wont start for 20 minutes. Making very tidius for some one to still it if it can't run for past a minute at the time two or three times. Performance wise, I noticed an increase in spark, ofcourse I have a hight voltage motorcycle coil on direct fire, also using the 3rd gen platinum plugs on my car. Why? because they last three to four times longer than regular plugs, burn cleaner, I performs better with them. Is it worth the money Hell yes....sparkplug I mean, also the Rotary Master. There are those that will say that the box is not worth the money but I have heard a lot of bad talk about MSD's not performing up to standards after certain rev's ...

If I had to buy another it would definitely be a Rotary Master..

Besides they're made specifically for rotary engines.

I've heard a couple bad things about the rotarymaster, but I've never tried one myself. I only spent $1 on connectors for my set up

I've heard various people say it's not all that good, but they never told me anything specific.

Thanks Jose!
