Installing a MSD 6A in a '72 Volvo 164
Aug. 27th, 2009 02:31 pmExcept the '75 model, all Volvo 164s came with points ignition. We all know how much points suck, and why, so it's understandable that the owner of any car equipped with them would want to get rid of them.
A while back I picked up an ignition system from a '75 model year car. I also had an MSD box and coil sitting in the garage from an old project.
I decided it would be advantageous to use the MSD over the factory Bosch ignition module. This is because the factory ignition has a dropping resistor, while the MSD does not. The MSD coil is also "hotter" (although the effect of this is debatable).
