Default MSD Ignition

Just wondered if you guys have seen the new quick harness from msd to plug in a 6al box. It plugs right into the factory harness. Also is anybody running an msd setup and how much difference did you notice?

90-97 is #8889. I just got the new book today at work and I got excited. Now I'm curious to see how much of a difference the 6al box and coil and wires will make.

Thanks for the info. I saw on hughes's website where they carry complete msd ignitions for our trucks for about 330.00. It had an msd coil, 6a box, distributor, wires, cap, rotor, and harness.

If you experiment with the MSD ignitions
check your distributor cap and rotor more often
as they begin to wear much faster.

I hadn't thought of that hank, but good point.
