Yeah, I thought it was fooked as well ? :blink:

It might have the TB's in the footwell attached to it but last I saw jt said it had to come back for the valves to be replaced.

AmD did the stage 3, we just repaired the rockers when it was buzzed. We didn't uprate anything at that time, just got it ready for the conversion. With hindsight we should have done more.

Looks like he has junked the standard DIS and coils. You can see two coils mounted externally on the left side with plug leads running under the standard coil pack cover. One of my future mods, intend to connect some MSD coils to my MSD DIS-2. He has also maintained the standard ECU. The Emerald is mounted behind it.

Yep but why ?

Emerald ECU's cannot deal with the DIS ?

I do not understand where is the interest on replacing the DIS with a standard ignition system ?
