How to test with the 8998?
I ahve been following this discussion and wanted to check the chip in my car. Set up the MSD tester and have been trying to figure out exactly how to use it. I have set the box to both 4 and 8 cylinder to figuring that there may be one that has half of the RPM readout. I am gettign to about 12000 RPM before the spark device cuts out.
I know that the rev chip was working because I hit it at several points on the track and seems to be in the 6000-7000 range. I just got off the phone with the guys at MSD and they say that the 8998 test box will not be accurate as the rotary is closer to a 6 cylinder.
Can somebody help me figure out how this is supposed to work. The instructions for the tester are very brief and don't offer much info. Here is how I have it connected
violet and green wires out of the MSD box two pin connector to the violet and green out of the tester.
Red and black hooked to the power and ground
wire from the coil connected to the spark device and clipped to chassis/ground
Appreciate any direction you guys can give a newbie.
