Has any had experience with them in the 924.
Which parts worked best?
Any Idea's for a hotter ignition. If not MSD what would be best.


p.s. it is a 1979 N/A street car w/o any mods yet.

Don't expect any power gains. You'll probably see things smooth out a bit though. IMHO, it's a worthwhile upgrade as long as you're not expecting an extra 10hp (or even 5hp).

Have had MSD ignition in my carbed car for the past twenty years. I think the benefit is more for carbed cars. Runs smoother. No horsepower gain, I think.

MSD gives multiple sparks for better fuel burning more power youll notice it when you go up hills. The msd 6 with rev limiter and coil with a heavy 8mm wire is good. On the plugs open up the gap a few mm
and your set.
