Bailey Engineering LTCC setup
NOTE: Low resistance
plug wires like the MSD Superconductor, as well |
This is the LTCC
(LT1-to-LS1 coil conversion) designed and manufactured by Bob Bailey of Bailey
Engineering, the same outfit that designed and produced the popular Scanmaster
MAF translator and Translator plus for Turbo Buicks and LT1s
Benefits of the system are: extended opti life much stronger ignition at high RPM/boost built in adjustable rev limiter / two-step built in adjustable N2O / boost retard. It's just plain cool.
The price is $399 for the box and harness. It still uses the optical module in the Optispark, but no high voltage is passed through it, removing the source of damaging ozone that eventually leads to Optispark failure.
This is not totally a bolt-on deal but will require some individual creativity on mounting the coils (making a bracket to hold the coils, etc) and getting the plug wires from the coils to the plugs, see the pictures below. The harness is plug and play, no splicing required. It uses 8 LS1 coil packs which you would also have to purchase along with some other parts.
Taylor Spiro-pro cut to fit wires or equivalent (NOT ultra-low resistance
type).

There is a thread on this system at the CarmaroZ28 Forum
Email Bob Bailey for purchasing or technical information about the LTCC sytem.
