Default MSD 6AL hookup?

Anyone know where I can get instructions? I have one laying around that is almost new. Also could you run you stock tach off the box? I have a feeling my tach is off at high RPM. Didnt know if this might help. Thanks guys

So far I believe you can not use it with the LS1 series motors. It has something to do with having 8 coils.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't there ignitions systems now for engines with separate coils.

I think they have them for Ford 4.6's if I am not mistaken.

Yes they do the Dis-2 and Dis-4 box the dis-2 is for cars with 2 coils and the dis-4 is for cars with 3-4 coils ie: 4.6L, sorry but they don't make a dis-8

I think B&M has somthing called New Volt in theory it should work i havn't heard of it on an LS1 before.

The only aftermarket ignition system that I'm aware of is made by Holley. I don't remember the part # offhand, but its around $2500... Its on Holley's website.

Edit: http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin...C/800-501.html

HLY-800-501 on summit's website... $2499, plus you have to use an aftermarket computer I believe.
