That was kind of funny about not making sense especially if you have little knowledge of a basic distributor with a point system 🫤. I do believe if you're really into getting the most out of your vehicle you would put the effort into it it would be very well and a learning experience good luck.
Boxes are junk made in china brittle wires inside box ...got 2 neither one worked then the tech line said not supposed to have 12volt power at coil..lol even wen cranking 4 volts spark so weak they don't even ask you to test spark at plug!!! How can you have power to plugs if no 12 volt power to coil ????!!! Makes no sense 45 minutes of nonsense answers older 90s boxes better unreliable overrated 280 junk mike flashed trigger signal but no power to coil..they said does not work like that ..lol.ya no shit save your $$$$ you can use a stock 4pin GMC ingnition module msd wires are good proubley why I got a Mallory back in 1988. But Holley owns msd Mallory now ... Edelbrock far better carb for reliability prices of plastic breaks off snaps wife there junk don't buy
I blew the first one up on my boat and it was my fault because I had dead batteries and had a battery charger on battery on 12 v crank assist and it fryed the box. It was the 6btm. The second one just stopped working but I was careful and did nothing wrong this time. Lasted 5 years. But price went up 400 Canadian since 2019
I have a 1968 Cadillac coupe with 70s cadillac 502 camd up & blower. I love msd ingintion & distributor. Saves me headaches. I can jump in & go no worries!
lol try calling MSD for help, right away holley comes on and says they are experiencing higher than normal call volume and wait times maybe longer that usual. bullshit they have been saying that for the last 2 years no matter what time you call.
Great video. I have had the same MSD box for 25 years, still running. Question: Do you need to put an inline fuse from the battery to the MSD box. ever in the, and do you ever run the box through a relay? The relay using the trigger wire would be a great anti theft adition.
Is there a particular coil that’s better or worse for this box?one thing I’ve always liked about MSD is they’re always there standing behind their product
I need a msd to pull timing can u help I got a 2003 1.8L turbo On nitrus so i need to retarded timimg by 2/4 maybe It's a wet kit.

The thumbnail shows the ignition box attached to the firewall, with the red led indicator on. Yet, there are no mounting screws in the mounting holes. What witchcraft is this?
i have the msd 6 efi box, blaster ss coil and msd duel sync distributor with msd wires but so far im having issue of coils going bad. I have holley dominator efi on big block. what could be causing coils to burn up. Im going try the msd 6 efi coil. Is there chance the blaster ss coil is not able to handle amount of power in ignition system
Man I’m struggling with my 6al... 95 mustang GT it’ll flash five times but still start. It’ll run for a little bit. Even days. With a Little Miss in it And a sputtering idle... then out of nowhere it’ll break down and won’t start for a while. It’s even backfired if you times. I’m just really stuck I replace distributor Cap and rotor. I don’t even make the car not ride right the shift doesn’t feel right when is acting up and about to die... Sometimes it will fire up perfect And run great... New plugs new wires the only codes I’m picking up the EGR which has been removed. Thermactor Air system and left and right side which would be the smoke pump It’s sure it’s been removed as well... I’m still gonna do the field test tomorrow any information would be helpful I can upload videos as well
6425 6AL key on Engine off I get 1 led blink then goes out, what could possibly be why not getting 5 blinks ? Triggers as I am cranking, car starts and runs, is my box not working properly?
Summit (msd) sbc igntion box, dist. Recently developed a crank/no start or hard start condition Used to run Summit brand 8mm wires always fired up Put Napa premium Belden 8mm on. Could this be an issue? Meaning too much resistance? Everything in the car is brand new .Wires nuts bolts you name it. Tired of throwing parts and on disability cant afford to Thx PS Neighbor insisted on buying me the fancy NGK platinum?? plugs are those any good or just stick to Autolite 3924? WAnt to trust this car again
What if the car runs for a certain period of time and then it shuts off with the box flashing 5 times? I can turn it off and back on and it will start right back up? Thanks for any help
Just purchase week and a half ago, the 6530, also using trigger wheel. Software reading double the RPM that my tachometer is reading. And yes, I changed the software to the correct total cylinders in the tree. 2 different Tech support guys had no answer to this problem.....I just sent it back so they can look inside the box. Hope they find the problem!
I own a 2003 dodge ram van 5.9l. I bought MSD 6A and I'm working on wiring. I want you to tell me which line of my car the white line from MSD should connect to. I'm really in trouble.
I'm working on 16v project VW scirocco on carbs. My distributor doesn't have vacuum so now without ecu I have spark on 0° Will MSD with higher rpm send spark earlier or it will be the same?
I tested my msd 6al w/key on (not turning over engine) Msd is connected.i did my test w/pick up wires. Not the(wht) and my starter started spinning i had to disconnect the battery for it to stop.Why did this happen?
Hey how you doing ? I have 67 mustang 289 and instal distributor msd + msd ignition box I instal all and no Spark Plug in the cylinders and when I instal the old distributor it's works. What's the problem you think ? Thank you
I did the white wire test coil sparked one time and not agin the light comes on flashing 5 times then stops it will flash when turning it over but then sum times it won’t
This guy: "Make sure you route your spark wires away from high heat sources"
Me: Laughs in headers
This was a big problem with me lol. I ended up buying a set of high heat plug wire insulators like shown in the video at 8:33 .
Laughs in 22r
This makes zero sense to me.

What are these for ?
Old cars, fixing them up and changing the ignition system
Thanks for this video -- by far the most informative one I've seen
Do I need a coil to connect the box or it is only hei distributor msd box?
Is there a particular coil that’s better or worse for this box?one thing I’ve always liked about MSD is they’re always there standing behind their product
I just want to know if MSD ignition systems are compatible with my 1985 Ford Bronco XLT V8 351W and if it’s worth buying them?🧐
how the heck do you hook a tack a up to this it says in some videos you need an adapter but even that has no place to plug in to the Ignition
Great video, how about a video to install a MSD-6AL2 to HEI DISTRIBUTOR. Do I need a solid state relay for this install?

This box doesnot change the timing. And your timing is much to late. At leat 10 to 16 before tdc. Depending on your cam

How to get stock tach to read correctly with msd box. It's reading double
Is it okay to install in a stock ka24de? A 4 cylinder. I wont need bigger injectors or anything?
McLaughlin Valley
Ivd run msd boxes in dirt circle track and never had a failure
What if I have the complete system installed and as I turn the distributor by hand to make sure #1 is ready to fire and find spark there is no spark?
Marquardt Mountains
If the battery is in the trunk, where should I get power for the MSD box?
Run the thick red wire to power side of starter solenoid and ground strap on engine to frame for negative
@@culbycars no, run it directly to the battery, just like the instructions say to do.
Run it to your main power distribution in the front of the car.
