Made to complement your MSD Performance Atomic EFI (or other aftermarket electronic fuel injection), the 6EFI ignition control is a universal product designed to work in harmony with EFI systems (on 4-, 6-, or 8-cylinder engines) and comes with detailed wiring instructions to make installation a breeze.

The 6415 6EFI produces numerous benefits, including increased throttle response, smoother idle, quicker starts, and full ignition power throughout the entire RPM range. It also offers capacity discharge technology, which fires a series of multiple sparks that last for 20 degrees of crankshaft rotation when the engine is running at lower RPM. Finally, MSD gave this product an adjustable rev limiter (via rotary dials in 100 RPM increments) to protect your engine in the event of a missed shift or driveline failure.

Features

  • Specially designed for EFI systems.
  • Compact housing.
  • Detailed instructions included.
  • Capacitive discharge technology.
  • Integrated rev limiter.
  • Works with 12V distributed electrical systems.
  • Easily connects to magnetic pickup, electronic, and even points distributors.

ACCEL’s SuperBox capacitive-discharge ignition (CDI) system is the perfect choice for performance fans on a budget. When the engine is running at low RPM, this modern upgrade fires a series of sparks that lasts for 20 degrees of crankshaft rotation—ensuring better air/fuel combustion and creating instant throttle response and a smoother idle. The ACCEL 61212 SuperBox CDI features a durable cast-aluminum housing; can be set for four-, six-, or eight-cylinder applications; and easily connects to points, amplifiers, and magnetic-pickup distributors. An adjustable rev-limiter protects the engine in the event of driveline failure or the occasional missed shift, and adjusts in 100-RPM increments via rotary dial.

Features

  • Multiple sparks for improved starting, idle, and throttle response.
  • Full power output at high RPM.
  • Easily connects to points, amplifiers, and magnetic-pickup distributors.
  • Adjustable rev-limiter for over-rev protection.
  • Compatible with 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder applications.
  • Available plug-and-play accessory harness (for most applications).

MSD Performance’s Ford big block billet distributor* now comes with a steel gear installed for specific camshaft requirements.

The 85801 features stainless steel terminals and an easily adjustable mechanical advance assembly that has been fine blanked from chrome-moly steel, TIG welded for strength, and QPQ coated. Precision weights glide on nylon bushings for a smooth advancement, and stop bushings and springs allow for a variety of advance curves.

Guided by a long sintered bushing and sealed ball bearing, the advance/reluctor steel shaft has been coated with a friction-reducing agent, a combination that provides spark delivery at any RPM and stable timing signals. MSD’s maintenance-free and race-proven magnetic pick-up handles triggering chores.

Note: Must be used with an MSD ignition control.

*Will not clear some factory-style Shaker hood scoops.

Features

  • CNC-machined billet aluminum housing and DuPont Rynite base.
  • Preinstalled with quality steel gear.
  • Supplied Cap-A-Dapt and rotor (accepts MSD socket-style caps).
  • Mechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systems.
  • Nylon pads ensure smooth advance weight operation.
  • Advance weight pins are staked and TIG welded to the plate.
  • Advance plate/weights are fine blanked from chrome-moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reduction.
  • Polished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearing.
  • Maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout RPM range.
  • Easy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushings.

Coming soon from MSD Performance is the 6CT: the most advanced ignition control ever to hit a circle track. The 6427 is packed with features, including a large digital LED display that makes it easier than ever to see the rev limiter setting (adjustable via laser-etched rotary dials).

Speaking of, the microprocessor-controlled rev limiting is so smooth, your chassis will virtually be undisturbed when charging into turns. The rotary dials let you select for 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines and achieve 0⁰, 10⁰, or 20⁰ timing retard for quick starts. Plus, the LED display can be used as a live tach or to display your car’s battery voltage. MSD also designed the unit to record the highest RPM your engine turned during the race. The 6CT offers all this and more in a fully potted, tamper-proof housing that uses a single connector to keep wiring tidy.

Features

  • Works with 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines.
  • Large, easy-to-read LED display.
  • Check rev limit, highest RPM, cylinder select, battery voltage, start retard, and tach mode.
  • Start retard is adjustable in 0⁰, 10⁰, and 20⁰
  • Full delivery of spark energy down to 6V battery supply.
  • Efficient, low-current draw extends battery life.
  • Fully potted housing stands up to demanding race conditions.
  • Single plug-in connector for clean wiring.
  • Tamper-proof screws prevent unit modification.
  • Reverse polarity and overheat protection.

MSD Performance (64253): Digital 6AL Ignition Control with Rev Limiter (Black)

David Ayers Leave a comment

MSD Performance has upped the ante on its analog 6AL, the ignition control that had already set the standard in the category. Redesigned for the first time in 25 years and available in black (64253) in addition to the familiar red, the now-digital 6AL produces more power with less energy, all in a more compact housing. In addition, the single connector creates a tidier visual profile and facilitates installation.

Perhaps of most interest to enthusiasts is MSD’s inclusion of an easily adjustable rev limiter, now located on top of the housing; the two rotary dials let you set the limit in 100 rpm increments—no more plug-in rpm modules! The 6AL’s microprocessor monitors and controls every firing and rev limit, delivering more than 530 volts to the coil with up to 135mJ of spark energy for every firing! As a bonus, the integrated LED lets you know you’ve got voltage and blinks to signify a trigger signal.

Features

  • High output: 530V 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 single locked, sealed connector.
  • Accepts trigger inputs from breaker points, amplifiers, and magnetic pickups.
  • Compatible with 4-, 6-, or 8-cylinder engines with 12V negative ground systems.
  • Includes wiring harness and installation components (plus vibration mount).

Plus, it allows you to control both fuel and spark without pulling over. You’ll enjoy comprehensive control of your system while driving, with the ability to adjust air-fuel ratio, ignition curve, idle speed, acceleration fuel, coolant fans, rev limiter, and more! For those without a compatible device, a 7″ Android tablet kit is available.

Looks-wise, Edelbrock has designed the Pro-Flo 3 with a traditional-style intake manifold and a 4150-style throttle body. It is available in a Satin or Polished finish. The product is also available with 29 lb/hr injectors for small-cubic-inch engines that support up to 550 hp, and with 35 lb/hr injectors for large-displacement engines that support up to 625 hp.

Features
