how to disable MAP sensor
Running a carburetor on a 01 trans am with msd 6ls ignition. I have no map sensor and seen somewhere I need to disable it.
I can't seem to find out how to disable it. I pulled all the curve out of it, I assume this should work right? Or does it need to be completely disabled. If so, how? Thanks

If using the MSD box....yes....ZERO it out, save to PC, and then save to MSD box.

I'M wondering how that could happen, as the computer is looking for an exact return voltage from the 5volt reference at the sensor. With it unplugged it would have no return voltage to bias any map circuits in the computer. At that point the computer would have no knowledge of any vacuum changes to add timing.

With the unit unplugged it will read 0 volts on the signal line all the time. The box will interpret that as max vacuum (zero absolute pressure) and will dial in whatever timing you have in your curve for zero pressure. So a 6010 box will add 6 degrees on top of your timing vs. RPM curve whereas a 6012 box adds 20 degrees.
Your choice, either zero out the vac curve and advance your static timing accordingly or leave the vac curve the way the box came from the factory and mentally add 6 degrees to everything.
