Re: are all msd boxes the same?

There's very little inside an MSD box. A 6A just has a basic ignition module inside. A 6AL has a high end rev limiter added to it.

The ignition module doesn't care what kind of car you have. Download the instruction manual from MSD to figure out how to hook it up to different types of cars.
