I cant figure out why.........WHY they would use a seriel port instead of a USB. Oh well, at least theres no data logging like I need on my 97 SS. Ill just run a long cable out the window from my home computer, lol. Eric L

Has nothing to do with our ignition controllers, it is the fact they used them on any other programmable boxes for any other applications, someone said "Hey, lets order a ton of these so we have plenty"
The more they buy, or parts to build, the cheaper.

The first time that I remember seeing anything about them was in a dyno test in Hot Rod Magazine in Feb '05. That was the Edelbrock box, which I think was released first. They were probably available before that...like, maybe late 2004?

UPDATE: I got my MSD 6010 yesterday. Yep, it came with the data cable. Its funny because my Dell laptop still has the COM port so I can use this cable just fine. And my laptop isnt very old either. So, now all I need is 1 coil pack harness for the driver side. Anyone?

i have a full harness for the msd 6010 if interested but am in the uk, so it would cost a fair bit to ship i imagine. let me know if you are struggling and i could sort out a deal i suspect?

I got my 6010 second hand from someone else. Decided I wanted to mount it where I had my CD box from my old SBc ignition. The harness I have is easily 2-3 feet too long and I have to tripple it back against itself. Looks terrible. Did I get the extension harness or is this how long the stock one is? My plan is to just run the data cable through the firewall and coil and stow it in the glove box.
If this is the extended harness, does someone have the standard length one they want to trade me straight arcoss for?
You can see it, the jumble of wires below the 6LS box on the firewall.
