62112 - DIS-2 Plus Distributorless 2 Channel
The mid 1980s were the beginning of the end for distributors in regard to new cars. The
Buick Grand Nationals started using coil pack technology while many other GM vehicles were
using dual tower coil packs sometimes known as Waste Spark systems. When Ford moved to the
4.6L Modular engine in the ’96 Mustang, there were two coil packs with four towers each set
up as a Waste Spark. Other common applications came from Mitsubishi and eventually Chrysler
systems. MSD’s DIS Ignition Controls are designed for engines with coil pack, waste spark
ignition systems.
The DIS-2 has two channels, to fire two coil packs, while the DIS-4 is capable of firing up
to four coil packs (or even four individual coils). Each Control delivers full power
Capacitive Discharge sparks from idle through racing rpm. Below 3,000 rpm there is a series
of multiple sparks that last for up to 20° of crankshaft rotation to improve idle, starting
and throttle response. The adjustable features of the DIS Ignitions have also been upgraded
with rotary dials. These provide easier, and more precise adjustments of the overrev limiter
and the holeshot rev limit. Also, there is now a step retard that can be wired directly to a
nitrous system or switch for activation! For use on 6 or 8-cylinder engines with two, three
or four coil packs.
Features:
Two Step Rev Control
Step Retard
LED Monitor
6214 - Midget DIS-2 Programmable Race Ignition
The Programmable Midget Ignition is a complete electronic distributorless system consisting
of a powerful capacitive discharge Ignition Control, a four tower high output coil pack and
uses two non-magnetic pick-ups with a trigger wheel as a crank trigger source. This takes all
of the mechanical variables out of the picture to produce exact ignition timing! Adding to
the accuracy and high output of this ignition system, is the advantage of being able to
precisely program the timing throughout the engine’s entire rpm range.
By using the optional Hand Held Programmer, PN 7550, or MSD’s Pro-Data+ software package on a
Windows based PC, racers can program two different timing curves down to .1° per 100 rpm
increments! Other features of the Programmable Midget Ignition include a rev limiter to
protect the engine from overrev damage, a start retard and a circuit that monitors the
battery supply voltage. The Midget Ignition produces full power capacitive discharge sparks
at any rpm so you can be assured of complete combustion.
To control this power and the programs, a 15 MHz microcontroller analyzes the various inputs
and is capable of extremely quick compensations to maintain exact timing and rpm. The Midget
Ignition is supplied with the Ignition Control, two Non-Magnetic Pick-ups, Trigger Magnet,
On/Off Switch and Software.
Features:
Plot two timing curves ranging from 800-15,000 rpm in 0.1 degrees increments
Program a start retard to ease cranking
Select a rev limit from 2,000 – 15,000 rpm in 100 rpm increments

62152 - MSD DIS-4 Plus Distributorless 4 Channel
The mid 1980s were the beginning of the end for distributors in regard to new cars. The Buick
Grand Nationals started using coil pack technology while many other GM vehicles were using
dual tower coil packs sometimes known as Waste Spark systems. When Ford moved to the 4.6L
Modular engine in the ’96 Mustang, there were two coil packs with four towers each set up as
a Waste Spark. Other common applications came from Mitsubishi and eventually Chrysler
systems. MSD’s DIS Ignition Controls are designed for engines with coil pack, waste spark
ignition systems. The DIS-2 has two channels, to fire two coil packs, while the DIS-4 is
capable of firing up to four coil packs (or even four individual coils). Each Control
delivers full power Capacitive Discharge sparks from idle through racing rpm. Below 3,000 rpm
there is a
series of multiple sparks that last for up to 20° of crankshaft rotation to improve idle,
starting and throttle response. The adjustable features of the DIS Ignitions have also been
upgraded with rotary dials. These provide easier, and more precise adjustments of the overrev
limiter and the holeshot rev limit. Also, there is now a step retard that can be wired
directly to a nitrous system or switch for activation! For use on 6 or 8-cylinder engines
with two, three or four coil packs.
Features:
Two Step Rev Control
Step Retard
LED Monitor
62153 - MSD DIS-4 Plus High Output

6420 - Digital 6AL Ignition Control
The MSD 6AL Ignition Control set the standards that other ignitions strive to reach. In fact,
you’ll find ignitions from other companies that carry the 6AL name (and in some cases, the
same part number). For 2011, the bar has been raised even higher as we introduce the all new
Digital 6AL Ignition Control!
MSD started with a clean slate and drew up plans for an all new housing. We kept the same
footprint as the traditional 6AL but lowered the profile for a sleek look. The wiring is all
routed out one end of the unit through a sealed and locking connector. This eases
installation and keeps your wiring looking neat and clean. The rev limiter was moved right on
top of the housing for easy access to the two rotary dials to set the limit in 100 rpm
increments.
Inside the Digital 6AL you’ll find a microprocessor that monitors and controls every firing
and rev limit. The circuits are updated with efficient components that help the ignition
produce more power while drawing less current! In fact, the new Digital 6AL delivers over 530
volts to the coil with up to 135mJ of spark energy for every firing! Increased output
combined with MSD’s proven multiple spark series is a win-win situation!
The new Digital 6AL are supplied with the wiring harness and the components you’ll need for

6462 - MSD 6-BTM Boost Timing Master
The 6 BTM is ideal for engines with a turbo or supercharger. Not only will the engine benefit
from MSD's full power CD sparks, but there is also an adjustable boost/timing retard circuit
to prevent detonation.When your turbo or blower forces the air/fuel mixture into the engine,
the cylinder pressure inside the combustion chamber increases. The result is a great increase
in power but this can also lead to detonation that can result in severe engine damage. The 6
BTM lets you dial away detonation by retarding the timing in relation to the boost pressure.A
dash mounted control knob lets you adjust the amount of timing retard. It can be adjusted
from 0 degrees per pound of boost to 3 degrees per pound (up to 15 degrees).The 6 BTM also
shares the Soft Touch Rev Control of the 6AL Ignition for overrev protection. The BTM is
supplied with rubber shock mounts and rpm modules for 3,000, 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000 rpm.

6530 - MSD Digital Programmable 6AL-2
MSD is bringing their pro stock ignition technology to the street with their new Programmable
6AL-2! Since every NHRA Pro Stock car uses a Programmable Digital-7 Ignition Control, it was
only a matter of time until MSD brought that technology to the street – and the time is now!
The new ignition, Part Number 6530, is based on the same output as the 6AL-2, but rather than
rotary dials for rpm adjustments it sports a serial port that connects to a PC. Once you load
MSD’s Windows based software on your PC, you’re ready to start mapping and programming. To
start, you can get rid of the weights and springs that control the mechanical advance of your
distributor. Go ahead and lock it out because you can now create a timing curve that allows
you to manipulate the timing down to tenth of a degree increments every 100 rpm. The
advantage is precise timing control, with the ability to ramp the timing in or retard it at
exactly the rpm that you want it to move. Want more timing out for a start retard? Simply
click the mouse and move a couple dots in position. Like a high speed retard? Clickity-click!
Another great feature is for the forced induction fans. The ignition features a timing curve
based on boost so you can map out a timing curve based on boost pressure. The feature that
most street guys will dig is the ability to pull timing out during the holeshot – and ramp it
back in. Since many cars have more power than traction capabilities, being able to soften the
power at the holeshot can help reduce the tire shredding off the line.
There are also three different rpm limits that can be set in 100-rpm increments; one for the
burnout, one for the holeshot and of course a top end limit for overrev protection. If you
have a nitrous shot you like to blast off now and then, the ignition has an activation wire
that you tie into the nitrous wiring. When the nitrous is activate, the timing can be
retarded instantly!
Features:
Advanced PC programming for use on street/strip and track cars
PC Programmable with easy-to-use Windows based Pro-Data +Software
Plot a timing curve based on boost pressure down to a 0.1° every 100 rpm

be ramped on and off over time. For blower or turbo cars, there is a separate map that lets
you program a timing curve based on boost pressure. This is set in increments down to 0.25-
psia for every 0.1 degrees. If you're going the boost route you will need to purchase a MAP
sensor to meet your application (see below). delivers a stout 190 millijoule spark with 535
volts of primary voltage, so even with high boost pressures the fuel is going to get lit. All
of this power and adjustments are managed by a very quick 40Mhz RISC microprocessor.
An upgraded micro- controller runs at 40MHz enabling timing accuracy within 0.1 degrees and
+/-1 rpm at up to 10,000 rpm!
Features:
Map a timing curve based on boost pressure.
Plot timing curves down to 0.1 degrees every 100 rpm.
Control each cylinder's ignition timing by up to 10 degrees.
Select different rpm shift points for each gear shift.
Program a specific timing curve for each gear.
Three stages of retard for multiple nitrous systems.

7562 - Programmable Launch Boost Controller
This stand-alone microprocessor boost controller is exactly what-over-the-top turbo powered
cars need. This Control uses an extremely fast microcontroller to control boost pressure via
an electronically operated waste gate valve.Through easy to use Pro-Data+ software, you can
control the amount of boost pressure used during the burnout and map a boost curve based on
time for the launch and entire run. Control over the boost pressure is achieved through a PWM
output that controls a three-way electrically operated air valve that is installed between
the turbo and the waste gate actuator. (This can also be programmed to your particular
actuator.)To help in setting up and tuning the Controller, there is also an acquisition file
that records the engine rpm, manifold pressure and the pulse width modulator output. After a
pass you can save and download the file to review each pass.
Features:
Absolute control over a turbo’s boost pressure during the launch through advanced programming
Map a boost pressure curve based on time from a PC
Ideal to control boost pressures during the holeshot to aid in getting the tires hooked
Program boost pressure that is used during the burnout
Record and review 20 seconds of pressure and rpm information
