The MSD 6AL Ignition Control set the standards that other ignitions strive to reach. In fact, you'll find ignitions from other companies that carry the 6AL name (and in some cases, the same part number).

MSD raised the bar even higher with the revised Digital 6AL Ignition Control.

The wiring of the Digital 6AL is routed out one end of the unit through a sealed and locking connector. This eases installation and keeps your wiring looking neat and clean. The rev-limiter of the 6AL is located right on top of the housing for easy access to the two rotary dials to set the limit in 100 rpm increments. Inside the Digital 6AL, you'll find a microprocessor that monitors and controls every firing and rev limit. The circuits are updated with efficient components that help the ignition produce more power while drawing less current.

The Digital 6AL delivers over 530 volts to the coil with up to 135mJ of spark energy for every firing. This increased output combined with MSD's proven multiple spark series is a win-win situation. The Digital 6AL is supplied with the wiring harness and the components you'll need for installation. The 6AL is also supplied with vibration mounts. Both ignitions are compatible on 4, 6, or 8-cylinder engines with 12-volt, negative ground electrical systems. They'll accept trigger inputs from breaker points, amplifiers, and magnetic pickups.

Features:

High output with 530 volts and 135mJ of spark energy
Efficient components use less current to produce more power
Set an rpm limit with two rotary dials in 100 rpm increments
Built-in LED for system checks
All wires exit through a locked, sealed connector
Compatible with 4, 6 or 8-cylinder engines

It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality set of plug wires. 8.5mm or better. We offer a set of premium wires that would be suitable for this system at a very special price.

Please see our tech article on CDI Ignitions and you will be amazed at what you are missing. Engines with medium to aggressive cams cannot burn fuel efficiently in the low rpm range. This is due to the aggressive cam profile, large cylinder head and intake runners, and high cfm carbs in most all medium to high performance engines. Engines with a so-called lopey idle that doesn't smooth out till around 2000 or more rpm are responsible for much of the carbon build up in the combustion chambers, and occasional plug fouling when cruising for any length of time. This also worsens the drivability, performance and fuel mileage.

CDI systems improve combustion to such a degree that you will notice the difference in many ways. The intense multi spark function is the key to it all. If you have a medium to high performance engine, and are running an HEI distributor, then all the above issues mentioned will most likely become a reality to some degree. If you do have an above stock street rod engine with a conventional ignition system, then you are holding it back from its full potential, not to mention the other issues listed in this article by not running a capacitive discharge system. Even if your engine is not in the high performance range, this system will still offer improvements in may ways over an HEI distributor, including faster start ups, better low speed drivability, and improved fuel mileage. There are no drawbacks! The MSD unit comes with very clear cut installation instructions for use with many different type distributors.
