The BEX series of chargers from Auto Meter is fully equipped with sophisticated circuitry that safely charges and maintains batteries without overcharging. Charging lights will tell you what phase of charging your battery is currently undergoing:

  • Amber: desulfation mode
  • Red: charging
  • Green: maintenance at full charge

Because batteries not kept at full charge can become sulfated, the Battery Extender will keep your battery at full charge on a continuous basis in order to maximize battery life.

  • Compatible with all lead acid batteries: standard (flooded), AGM, and gel cell.
  • Offers parasitic drain protection and water resistance.
  • Fully automatic “smart” charging with advanced circuitry for safe and efficient charging.
  • No need to remove your battery: just take the charger to the source and connect the leads.
  • Spark-free connection and reverse polarity protection.
  • Compact, rugged composite shell.
  • Includes two sets of leads.
  • Backed by a 3-year warranty.

MSD (6010): 6LS Ignition Controller for LS Engines

The 6LS ignition controller from MSD can now be installed on EFI or carburetor-equipped engines. While it may seem blasphemous to some, putting a carburetor on a GM Gen-III V-8 is a great option for those wanting the advantages of an aluminum small block without the headaches of wiring a modern EFI system. The controller allows you to map a timing advance curve with MSD’s easy-to-use Pro-Data+ software. Other programmable features include a two-step rev limiter, a vacuum advance curve for cruising economy, and even a step retard in case you want to add a little nitrous to the mix.

The 6LS is designed for LS1/LS6 type engines with a 24-tooth wheel, which can be identified by its black crank sensor connector, and fits with matching factory connectors for a direct installation. Only a handful of connections are required, including the coils, crank sensor, MAP sensor, and cam sensor. You’ll have your carbed LSX running in no time!

  • Runs a carbureted LS engine without complicated EFI hardware.
  • Map a timing curve and program via PC using MSD’s Pro-Data+ software.
  • Programmable two-step rev limiter, vacuum advance curve, and step retard.
  • Direct plug-in to factory components.
  • Does NOT control fuel.
