If your trying to have two step & timing retard that is very easy to accomplish with the DELTEQ system. It requires a MSD's DIS4 & 4 coil interrupt modules. You can also add the MSD DIS Red Twin tower coils to the DELTEQ setup for a complete bullet-proof setup. Overall, DELTEQ's setup with the MSD stuff will cost a little more than a LTCC with 8 MSD red coils and mounting brackets, but I feel they are both excellent products to accomplish solving a long standing LT1 problem.

Delteq system $640
(includes wires)
MSD 2 tower red coils (4)
MSD DIS4 $450 (timing retard & two step)
MSD coil interrupts (4) $120
(included)
Total: $1370

LTCC $400
Taylor wires (suggested) $70
MSD LS1 red coils (8) $580
LTCC does timing retard & two step
LTCC does not need coil inter-rupt modules
LTCC coil brackets $70 ??
Total: $1120

In an effort to make things comparable I have shown the Delteq system with the additional parts for timing retard & two step. I also have shown both systems as if they were done with money no object to get all the best parts and compare on an equal setting. I'm sure both system could be done for much less, but overall I feel both setups are comparable. If your going bare bones and need the two step & timing retard the LTCC can be done for less money.

Hope this helps, 95 T/A beast has some excellent pics of the DELTEQ setup, as well as myself. I'm sure there will be some great pics of the LTCC to come soon from FATAL LT1.

Here's mine (not completely finished yet. Still installing the MSD DIS4 and the (4) inter-rupt modules)
