MSD Installation Thread
Part numbers are MSD numbers:
If you have the money you can get it all built into one unit:
Programable Digital 7 PN7530
Pro-Data+ Software (Free)
There is no longer any need to hack any wires. MSD makes the adapter harnesses for our cars and they are free if you call up MSD directly and ask for it.
No MSD unit replaces your ECU. They are designed to be used with the stock ECU. You will need a laptop to program the ignition controller. If you don't have one they sell an MSD programmer that can be used instead of a laptop.
Overall it's cheaper then Jacob's. I personally have a plasma booster but it doesn't help with the ignitor problem which is the only reason I started to look into this.
I purchased the 6AL and the full scale ignition controller, PN 8979, along with the 2 coils & brackets, 9 towers and 3 cables.
I tried to do the transistor mod since my stock ignitor had officially died. I did not like it due to the hack job you have to perform to get it to work not to mention that if the transistor is somehow accidently grounded, IT WILL CAUSE ELECTRICAL DAMAGE. I know that the originator of that modfication had a good idea in mind, however it is simply not necessary to hack up the wiring in order to use the MSD ignition with any year Probe or MX-6.
Also keep in mind that when installing this ignition setup on an MX-6, you will need to use the tach adapter, as the MSD box does not send out a signal that the computer recognizes. When connecting the adapter, connect it in-line between the MSD box and the distributor. This will send out a signal the computer recongizes and allows you to have an operable tach/speedometer.
Please visit my website as I put together the outline that should be able to walk you through the MSD installation.
MSD INSTALL

That gap should be good for FI and N/A daily driving.
