Can anybody help install a msd sci ignition? downloaded 27 pages of instructions off of msd.com, but it says nothing about rotary engines... Any info

I installed (2) MSD 6AL, one for the trailing and one for the leading ignitors, and I did not see any performance increase. I think you have to have 3 boxes for it to run properly on a rotary. It is kind of a pain to wire up though. It was 4yrs ago that I had mine. I endeed up selling both boxes. The SCI unit is a step up from the 6 Al. sorry I couldn't be any help, I just did not have a good experience with mine.

Buy the plain jane 6A - everything else is a rip-off.&nbsp You can't really use the 6AL, or any rev limiter, with the unit just on the leadings.
