Alright I'm not sure what I'm doing here. My engine builder told me I'm going to need to get an MDS and I bought a used one from a member here. Now what is it for? Where do I want to mount it and how does it get wired up? I could study the website of the manufacturer, but I figured the brain trust here would be a better source of information.

Billy, MSD stands for multiple spark distribution and modifies your distributor so it shoots multiple sparks per cycle. Really helps combustion and horsepower on the new six you are adding. I have one on the Mustang. The red box gets mounted on the firewall somewhere and then electrical connections to the distributor. You will see the wiring instructions on the instructions. Yes, even we men read instructions, occasionally. You can hide the box but it does not like to be "hot" |
