map sensor find
The display on the MSD software tells you what vac it is reading and what total timing it is applying. Should be a simple matter to plug it in and see what is happening. You can modify the MAP table with the engine running and watch what happens to the motor as you do.
If you have never hooked up a lap top or swapped out timing pills then I think the box defaults to something like pill #3. that should be applying 6 degrees of advance at idle. In that case pluging in the MAP sensor should cause timing to advance which should increase your idle RPM.

cuda620, you need to hook up a lap top and see what is happening.
He also needs to pull out that timing pill, throw it in the trash, and build his own timing map. I did have a link to a good pressure/vacuum chart but seem to have lost it.

6010 will work on LS2 Trying to figure out how to program an which program for my 6010. So as you can see,,with the right planning a 6010 will plug into an LS2/LS3. Been driving it bout a week now. Starts good on 12 degrees,then up to 20,like on pill 3. Spoke to MSD tech a few times and they said a map sensor without programming the box actually RETARDS the timing if map sensor is just plugged into the connector with a pill. map advance is applied as a default using the pills and do NOT connect a map sensor unless you laptop it and create your own curve . Problem is when using the pills as they are the extra timing ,,be it 6,8, or 4 degrees is constant in addition to your pill supplied total and will not drop out. Therefore you could be over advancing you engine. So if you run a pill,,what it supplies is what you get and do not run a map or you will retard you timing by as much. to run a map sensor all timing must be programmed without a pill. And if you plug a pill in after you program you curve,,initial total,advance, and map/vacuum advance the pill will overide AND delete your programming efforts.

timing curve Hey s10. Awhile back during a conversation you posted for someone a graph that showed you timing and map curve that you set up. I thought I saved it but cannot find it and I wanted to try it on my setup if you wouldn't mind reposting it.. Thanks

Why??????????? Got alot of it that way. Didn't change the reluctor. Someone else did. Isn't that hard with engine torn down anyway. Specially with other mods. Didn't cost me a thing and would run the same even if it was 58.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense why you would want to retard timing with high vac and advance it with full throttle, but whatever.
But no matter, did you hook it up to a lap top yet?

Map time OK so the 6° listed in the map advance table of the instruction sheets (see page 6) is really a map RETARD and not ADVANCE.
