3B Distributor crossfiring, documentation?

[Mihnea Cotet]

Javad,


I know some 3B's have crossfiring issues but I am pretty much convinced
that this has to do with the fact that people use the wrong distributor
rotor (the 7A/MC item which has a larger copper "tab"). The IMSA cars and
the Pike's Peak S1 were also making 600+ (well, according to some people,
even 700+) HP with a distributor and no crossfiring issues... so I don't
think a distributor would cause such issues if everything is well taken
care of during tuning...


HTH,

Mihnea
