Please check your polarity.

The South Pole is much colder than the North Pole. :D

But Fed Ex doesn't go there :mrgreen:

I found Blue Lightning Spark Plugs on Facebook http://facebook.com/blsparkplugs - their main page has a youtube video that shows there is a difference spark in the cryo plugs. I also found dyno test results on the .au Blue Lightning Spark Plugs website http://bluelightningsparkplugs.com.au/testing-results-2

There might be something to these cryogenically frozen plugs.

It would probably be cheaper in the long run to just go to a Plasma system, then you don't have to replace it.

In fact, Bosch no longer makes CD ignitions due to their very short spark duration period. Ford once made a hybrid ignition system that combined the ability of CD to fire large gaps and the ability of coil induction to maintain longer duration. It take more kV to jump a pressurized gap than it takes to maintain the spark thread. But Ford concluded such a system was unncecessary. Too bad, would have made a great racing ignition if properly mapped.
ICE Ignition in Australia make a box as you describe that sits beside an existing MSD CDI and uses a MSD Coil Selector to combine the outputs of the existing CDI coil and the new inductive one. Only proviso is the MSD box must be of a kind that works okay with the coil selector. 6, 6A and Digital 7 are okay.

At least a 9 year old thread you have opened.

That's quite true. I thought about it and decided it's not much different to posting a link to some web page that is x amount of years old. Or some other information that was published years ago. Heck, recently someone was referring to a book David Vizard wrote 40 years ago. In any case, my reply was relevant, and to a forum member that is still active. But yeah, sometimes a reply doesn't make sense if the discussion is way out of date.
