Ignition, Coils, Spark Plug Wires, Distributors, and more from MSD, Holley and Accel!
In the game of air-fuel-spark, the ignition system is often overlooked by builders who get fixated on the numbers. While it’s true that forced induction and advanced fuel system setups can deliver impressive results, ignoring a key component of the internal combustion equation can create serious issues and leave horsepower on the table.
“The ignition system always seems to get neglected,” says Joe Pando of MSD Ignition. “Folks concentrate on the engine combination, and the ignition system ends up being the last thing on the list. People tend to skimp on these components because of that.” But as horsepower levels rise, the limitations of inadequate ignition systems quickly become apparent.
“You might think you can burn everything with a stock ignition, or maybe some small upgrades,” he says. “But the tailpipe will tell you if that’s the case – if the engine isn’t burning fuel efficiently, you’ll smell it in the exhaust. Beyond the emissions concerns that can create, that unburnt fuel means your engine isn’t making the power it’s supposed to. It can also lead to drivability issues, such as poor throttle response, dips in the powerband, and even misfires.” - Read More
The Digital 6AL and 6A easily connect to 4, 6 or 8-cylinder engines with a 12 volt, negative ground electrical system. The MSD will accept trigger signals from a points or amplifier distributor as well a magnetic pickup.
