Hmmmmmmmm---Let me ask you guys this. I was planning on getting a timing tuner for retarding timing when I spray and since it also works as a window switch it was even better. WOuld it be ridiculous to use the timing tuner for the tiiming and not the window switch and then use the MSD#8969 for the window switch????? It woulld be alot easier to adjust! What do you think?

The digital switch rocks… One little thing I would mention is that you need to configure it for a 4 cylinder engine. The instructions say to set it for a one cylinder for LS1’s, but it needs to be set to 4.

Why did MSD print it wrong? So LS1's dont need to be configured for 8cyl or 4cyl like MSD says but for 1cyl ? When you say configure it that is all done by pressing a button on the face of it correct? What happens if you set it for 4cyl or 8cyl? Anyone know? So using the timing tuner and the MSD#8969 wouldnt be ridiculous?

I see no use for they grey wire looking at the diagram. I will not use it.

I have had the digital window switch for about 6 years now. It has never given me a problem and its mounted under the hood.
The unit is very user friendly and super easy to make changes to the activation and deactivation windows in 100 rpm increments.
I say if you can get one, buy it.

I have this exact window switch, but have yet to use it. It came with the car upon purchase with a complete nitrous system installed, and just got the car back in September. I was playing around with it recently though, and it looks really cool lol
