Difference? msd 6010 question
Difference? msd 6010 question For my conversion i am looking into getting the msd 6010 box. When i looked it up i found one box is black with 2 plugs and one is red with the one plug! both according to summit, jegs, and ebay are all the same part numbers of 6010. Is one for the 24 reluctor ring and one for the 58 reluctor ring? If anyone has some info on this, let me know.

ok so msd's webite is wrong then???? because there red box is the 6010 and it is for a 24 reluctor wheel. your thinking of the red 6012 that is for the ls2/7 with a 58 reluctor wheel. i am not asking about that one. i am asking the difference between the black 6010 with 2 plugs and the red 6010 with one plug. and if you look at the ebay link i posted earlier the red box is not the 6012 like your claiming, it is the 6010 (i think), because it has only one plug not 2 like the 6012

Not trying to be a smart a.. , but in your original post you have it backwards. Your links show the red 6010 with two plugs and the black 6010 with one. I think I would call MSD's tech line on this one, but the main thing is, the description on both states that they can be programmed. Just to add more confusion, I have a red 6010 on my engine with one serial plug, and it too can be programmed.

I think you have it backwards....you might wanna check that out again....Maybe an eye exam....Just saying
i am not trying to be a smart @$$ either but, did you take your stupid pill when you clicked on those links. because in my original post the red on has one plug and the black on has two plugs and the links work fine. anywho, yes i think i will just call msd and see what they have to say cuz i am getting all kinds of mix info from jegs, summit, ls1tech, ...etc

Are you looking to get an answer to your question or are you just trying to see how many people you can **** off?
I will tell you the second connector on the RED 6012 box on my car is a timing retard connector for running nitrous. I will also tell you MSD has a single instruction manual for the 6010 box. If you click on the link, go to the down load section and look at the instructions it has a step retard connector in the wiring diagram. So my guess is the color doesn't matter, both boxes have a timing retard regardless of color.
I think you are making way too much of the pictures. Maybe the second connector just doesn't show up. But now that you know what the second connector is for you should know if it matters to you or not.

It is just different pictures, there are not two different 6010 boxes. Just get a 6010 for 24x or 6012 for 58x and you will be fine. The pictures just aren't all of the exact item.
