8993 Ignition tester

Use on Top Fuel and Alcohol cars to test the actual operation of the six-shooter and retard unit, PN 8168. Timing changes will occur in real time and the amount of retard can also be verified. The data can be viewed on the Race Pak software without starting the engine.

The ignition tester will simulate the engine running through the Pro Mag Timing Retard, allowing the RacePak to record the actual time of retard and amount of retard. This tool can aid in trouble shooting the sequence of the six-shooter activation, pressure switches, and timers.

1. Connect the ignition tester to power (+12 V) using the red wire and ground - black wire.

2. Connect cable harness with single 3 pin connector to the RacePak TDC indicator pickup harness. The 2 pin connectors (2 pair) connect to crank trigger pickup input harness of the retard box.

3. Turn on the RacePak computer, and activate WOT switch to start the timers. With the WOT switch activated, rotate the tester RPM control knob through different rpm ranges to simulate a run on the track.

4. Once the timers have run their course, the data can be downloaded and checked for accuracy in both time of actuation and amount of retard.
