Is MSD 6AL programmable?

The Programmable 6AL-2 lets you lock out the distributor and program a timing curve via a PC. Must use MSD Pro-Data+ Software to program.

Does the MSD 6AL have 2 step?

MSD DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE 6AL-2 The ignition control combines a new housing, new digital controls and more power in a sleek package. Inside the new cast aluminum housing you’ll find an advanced micro-controller that manages the built-in two step rev-limiter.

What does the MSD grid do?

MSD’s Power Grid is based upon two different components: The system controller on the left and the ignition box on the right. The controller constantly analyzes the various systems such as launch, burnout, step systems, trigger signals and CAN-Bus data.

What is the difference between MSD 6A and 6AL?

The on-board soft touch rev control is one of the main differences between the 6A and 6AL. This means no external rpm modules to plug in anymore, simply adjust the rotary dials located on top and you are ready to go. Like the 6A box, the 6AL has a primary voltage of 520 – 540 volts and secondary of 45,000.

How many amps does an MSD 6AL draw?

The MSD uses about . 9 Amps for every 1,000 rpm. If the engine is cranked with the same battery or other accessories such as an electric fuel or water pump are used, the amp/hour rating should be higher.

What kind of battery does MSD 6al-2 ignition control use?

BATTERY An MSD 6AL-2 Ignition Control will operate on any negative ground, 12 volt electrical system with a distributor. The MSD can be used with 16 volt batteries and can withstand a momentary 24 volts in case of jump starts.

What does the MSD digital programmable 6al-2-red do?

MSD Digital Programmable 6AL-2 The Programmable 6AL-2 lets you lock out the distributor and program a timing curve via a PC. You’ll also be able to set a 2-Step Rev Limiter, a retard for use with nitrous and even a boost timing curve for forced induction engines!

How does MSD 6al-2 reverse polarity protection work?

The MSD 6AL-2 has a built in reverse polarity protection circuit. This will protect the ignition in the event of wrong connections. It will also shut off for protection from a surge in power. The ignition will still operate once the surge or polarity is corrected. MSD 6AL-2 Ignition Control PN 6421

Can a MSD be used with 16 Volt batteries?

The MSD can be used with 16 volt batteries and can withstand a momentary 24 volts in case of jump starts. The Ignition will deliver full voltage with a supply of 9 – 18 volts and will operate with a supply voltage as low as seven volts. If your application does not use an alternator, allow at least 15 amp/hour for every half hour of operation.
