After receiving mine and seeing the quality put into the dynaspark, I would not hesitate to get another one if needed. I know of a few high horsepower LT1's with this unit and they have had zero issues.

I would have to agree with everyone else on the #8 pigtail issue because if you swapped the injectors out and the issue remained it must be the wiring.

I was inclined to think that at first also, however I had the same problem on a different set of heads, cam and intake last fall. So 2 different combos with the same problem makes me think it's something external to the engine.

Changed the injector pigtails on #2 and #8 last night. The #8 primary is still getting extremely hot after only a few minutes at idle. I will pull the spark plug out today. It was too hot to get to last night.

as far as the glowing primary is concerned the only thing that i can think of off hand is injector related. LT1 pcms cannot tune individual cylinders so if it is only one primary on one bank than I would check injector pulse with a noid light and if that checked out than perhaps I would consider swapping that injector with another on the same bank and see if the problem follows the injector or stays with the cylinder. I wouldn't run the car very long until you get that panned out, if it is running that lean to get a glowing primary without any real load than you could potentially do some serious damage. Good luck
According to Ed Wright LT1 ecms CAN in fact tune individual cylinders.
I would look at that injector ASAP. I would not run the car until I figured that out.
And FYI Single planes are notorius for corner cylinders being lean, it has to be corrected with porting.
My car has hurt #8 two times now. I had the intake ported this time.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will let you know what I find.

#8 read around 150K ohms! 6 wires read around 500 ohms and #3 read around 2K ohms so it was probably on it's way out too. I picked up a set of new wires and got them installed. Fuel pressure looks to be a few PSI low but the primary isn't glowing anymore.
Thanks LE!

Was really hoping you wouldnt figure out the problem. Cars get real cheap in moments of frustration and I was willing to come take it off you hands lol. Sounds and looks great as always. Wish I had your patience
