Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

With 530 primary volts and 135 millijoules of spark energy, the output is higher.

Components that are more efficient use less current to produce more power.

The housing has the same bolt pattern as the original 6AL, but it has a lower profile.

Check the system with the built-in LED

All wires exit the same side of the connector, which is locked and sealed.

Questions & Answers

Is this going to fit a 1974 GMC 1500 pickup with a 350 engine and points?

It's something I use all the time on point ignition systems; all you have to do is remove the condenser. The points become nothing more than a signal for the box at this point. There's a tremendous spark here. This system is fantastic. I have about ten different systems that I use it on.

Is there a rev limiter on it?

There is no built-in rev limiter on this unit. The msd 6425 is a good choice for an internal rev limiter. The 6425 includes all of the same features as this unit, as well as an internal rev limiter.

I have a 1999 Ford Expedition 4 and I'm wondering if this will fit. 6L v8?

It certainly ought to. This box will work on 4, 6, and 8 cylinders if the proper wires are clipped (or not).

Will it fit my Toyota Pickup 22RE with carburetor, and will I have to replace the coil?

The MSD system works best when all MSD components are used together. The MSD Blaster coil produces more spark than the majority of other coils. For your installation, MSD provides online assistance. Your stock distributor, hopefully, will be able to set it off. You could also use a crank trigger system, similar to what race cars use.

Quality from MSD

5/5

MSD standard of excellence. I've owned three of these units and they've all performed admirably. If all of the installation recommendations are followed, the performance of each vehicle in which these were installed improved. Keep a close eye on the type of plug and the gap between them. It's also a good idea to move the start time forward a little.

Wow

5/5

What a stark contrast. I'm working on an air-cooled VW with a high-performance engine that reminds me of an old Porsche. Spark scatter - It's been finicky and challenging. Hot starts are not good. It starts right up with the MSD - The quality of the work has improved. It sounds fantastic (which I didn't expect), but I can now clearly hear each firing - I also managed to widen the gap between the plugs. I am also considering 20% gas mileage. WOW.

I was just replacing an older model that was nearly identical

5/5

I just happened to drop by. Bolts were all the same color, with wires and connectors color-coded. It doesn't get any easier than this, and my wiring will start to make sense again.

My trust in you has never let me down

5/5

The best feature is that the lights indicate whether or not the device is operational.

Hot

5/5

It generates a lot of heat. It appears that thin metal could be welded. After a top-oil treatment, fired oiled plugs. Even though the plugs were fouled, I believe it was still drivable.

5/5

Purchasing a product that is manufactured in the United States is always a good idea.

I was able to smooth out the idle of my Porsche 944

5/5

It was simple to set up and work right away. There will be no issues. I handed over my two. The 8-liter 4-cylinder 944 has a much better idle and more low-end power.
