Author Topic: MSD 6AL Question 916 tuGnuttiz ¯ Member # 4249 posted                              Hey I Just Bought A MSD BOX 6AL BUT SHOULD I PUT IT ON NOW OR WAIT IT I GET A MSD DISTRIBTOR OR DOES IT EVEN MATTER SO WILL IT BOX MAKE DIFFERENT ON STOCK DISTROBTOR OR MSD DIS. LET ME KNOW THANX Posts: 168 | Registered: Mar 2004  |  : BlackNGold CaliforniaFords.com Moderator Member # 655 posted                              OK, I think I almost understand what you tried to type...Please use complete sentences when using the Tech Forum...It makes it easier for everyone to read and that way you get more and better responses... To answer what I think was your question, is that you can basically install your MSD box whenever you like...Keep an eye on your cap and rotor condition when you use your MSD...I'd go through cap and rotors quite often after the install of my MSD coil and MSD box... Basically, depending on what your mods are right now, the stock ignition is pretty strong...There is no doubt that the MSD distributor is better than the stock Ford one, but a properly working stock distributor is more than adequet for most mildly modded Stangs.... Good luck... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : 92stangLX ¯ Member # 3252 posted                              I would put it on now. Not sure if you will see a power increase but your car will run a little smoother and you may see a slight gas mileage increase. You can also increase the gap on your plugs. While you are at it upgrade your plug wires if you haven't already done so.

Put it on now i run my MSD without a distributor. I noticed it ran a lot smooother when i installed it. I've never had any problems with the cap and rotor though. -------------------- ./_ _ _ ___ __\ (]]]_ _ o _ _[[[) |\_o_ __ __o_/| |__|..........|__| 68 Fastback 84 CJ7 94 HMMWV 95 GT 03 F350 17 Fusion Hybrid Posts: 17578 | From: 530 | Registered: Jun 2002  |  :
