Is anyone running the programable ignition marketed by MSD & Edelbrock?
If so, can you give me some tech info on it? Is there a place to pick
up an 8cyl ignition pulse in order to run a vintage street rod tach?
Care to scan the installlation / tech sheet info for me?
Thanks in advance,
Mike V

ill be doing this on my 408 that i get in soon...

you use the stock coil packs.... and MSD gives you software to use to control the timing....

from what i can see the MSD 6010 is a really trick piece... i cant wait

the wiring harness is extremely simplified its all wrapped in black loom...
it also comes with a tach signal wire, built in 2step, and built in retard function for nitrous.

the price is right too (200-300?).
Did you get the 6010 yet?
I'd love to see the doumentation.

yeah i got it.

Could I get you to scan it if it isn't too many pages?
I'm mostly interested in picking up the tach pulse and exactly
what it consists of. MV

thanke Ty-Ty13, got the fax.
The MSD unit looks like it clearly has a 12v square-wave tach signal.
That opens the door to to "fuel-only" computers if say, you don't
want to run the factory PCM in a street rod or...<?>.

I hope I did okay on the MSD 6010. I got it for $269 from Midwest Engine. It's one of the few NON- "clearance/junkyard" things I've bought in a while. My Zero-mile 4.8 assembly-line crate engine was $1,000 from a liquidater. I'd do that differently and get a used 5.3 in hindsight, but it's here. I'm using the EFI intakle and managing the fuel with an early 90's GMECM because I have many laying around. NA at first, but twin-turbo as soon as things are ironed out. I have pairs of both 87GN and 91 Syclone units ready to go. The Syclone units are actually larger on both wheels than the GN units, which surprised me. I still need to find 42-ish lb injectors cheap. Does anyone know what the 2001 MY 4.8-5.3 truck injectors are rated at?

So what do you do about emissions when changing an obd2 car to non obd2???

It's a 1946 Truck, so I' probably okay from an emmisions standpoint.

Hey,

I'm doing this too, in my '47 Ford coupe! One thing I've found out: The MSD 6010 box is defintely NOT the same as the Edelbrock box included in their manifold kit. The Edelbrock box is a stripped down version of the MSD box with none of the extra features (2 step, vacuum/boost, programmable timing curves, or PC link function). The only thing that controls timing on the Edelbrock box is a preset "pill" that plugs in (they give you 6 different ones).

HTH,

Russ

That's good info Russ. Thank you!

exactically.... msd stuff comes with the nice prodata software and it also comes with chips but its just to get you a good starting point.

or you guys can use the front cover from GM that allows you to use a ford 302 distributor and mechanical fuel pump.

Mke Vee

iTrader: (3)

Any info on pricing and availabilty of the front cover? I'm just trying to justify having bought the MSD as the cheapest solution.
