I'm getting close to finishing up the RS for the 1970 Molinari and I have some questions for the pros. I am running a Wilbur Weeks block (the RS block is up stairs) and want to run his dual plug heads. I mounted the dual coils on a bracket and hope to fire both coils from the power pack. I've been told it will do that OK.
Q-1: When looking at the CDI web site it lists a 1978 and 1979 version 235 hp motor. The PwrPk, stator, trigger etc are all different. 78 listed as PP3/6 and 79 listed as CD3/6 - what's this mean???
Q-2: I'll talk with CDI's technicians, but does anyone have a recommendation for what electronic's P/N's I should run?
Q-3: On the orange coil wires, I see that CDI has the P/N's for the boots and terminals. Were these wires run across the heads to the switch box, or routed up and over? They appear to all be the same length, and only long enough to go across the head to the SW box.
Q-4: FlyWheel TDC - timing: I believe the FW has a TDC/timing sticker on it, but mine has no markings that are obvious - no sticker. I have a dial indicator, so locating TDC is no problem. I do have the pointer mounted. What should the trigger advance be set to? Can someone give that to me in inches on the dial indicator BTDC / degrees?
Freddie recommended 35/72 jets when I bought it.
Please feel free to pass along any other set-up things / tricks / advice you may have.
