ya im sending it back i tried te whole relay thing and its just ---- nothing works dammit anyways, but thanks guys for your help? is the msd any easyer to hook up cause thats what ill be buying next

Re:sry for the f-bomb but..... FUCK THIS RPM SWITCH
 

um its prolly the same. i got the msd and i had to use a relay like i said and i needed to put a wire into the distributor. idk what wire but if u want to wait i can talk to my brother and find out what to do like i said and then u can try it. u do have the pills to kick it on to rite? Austin

I say Summit should put down the pipe.

They're expecting the RPM signal to trigger the relay? Man I hope not....imagine a mechanical relay turning on and off at 1000-8000 RPM. Relays weren't meant for that....that's what transistors are for.

This schem?

That's for after you get the switch wired in. ???
