Hi,
I have a question. will boost retard commanded by a MSD-6BTM show up on a scanner (or in datalogs?) when it displays a value for spark advance?

 

No, how could it?

 

He didn't know thats why he asked.

 

Unfortunately the only way to get accurate timing results is with an old fashioned timing light hooked to the number 1 plug wire.

 

That's tough to do while in boost.

 

Ya you either need a midget to ride in your engine compartment or a gadget to apply boost to the MSDBTM box while parked and idleing. LOL Seriously though you can figure it out from what the scanner reads and knowing how much timing per pound of boost the box is pulling.

 

I like the midget idea alot better.
