MSD 610 timing question, map sensor Question about the timing pills used with the 6010. Until I can get a computer that's compatible with the MSD software, (using a MAC) with the #3 pill, or any number pill do I need to hook up the map sensor?

Just add the base map timing to the regular timing table for the pill of choice, and that will be the actual timing the engine is seeing. In other words, if the map table chart shows that the map is a max of 6* added, and just for example, the #3 pill shows 18*, the timing your engine sees is 18*+6*, for a total of 24*. Just remember the map value will add the 6* all the way across the RPM range , to the base timing value. When you hook the map sensor up, the function will work like it is suppose to, adding more timing at part throttle and backing the added timing off as the intake vacuum diminishes. Hope this helps.

Ok, you should be fine to just plug a pill in the box and go. Just be a little conservative on pill selection and let the engine tell you whether it wants more or not. Watch the plugs for signs of spark knock and listen closely as well. The MSD chips are fairly conservative, IF you have a working Map sensor. Start low and work up and you will be fine. Good Luck and welcome to the speaking side of the board ! ( I noticed you joined in 2010, but only have 19 posts, LOL)

Also remember that the rev limiter is 5500 (I think I remember reading)
