Don't u need a tach adaptor for the MSD? And remove what screw and y? I was planning to installed a MSD but i was told and read on this forums, it only effective for car that runs under boost.

HOW DO YOU INSTALL A MSD 7AL. I HAVE THAT ONE BUT IM HAVING PROBLEMS HOOKING IT UP TO MY 96200SX

Is the Msd Digital 6 the same way as the msd 6a??

jerryeads · 02-26-2006, 05:23 PM

There are several msd ignitions. 6a is w/o rev limiter, 6al has a limiter (the "L"). The digital 6+ also has a limiter, and doesn't require pills as does the 6al. No, they're not going to hurt the car.

RedDragun · 04-07-2006, 04:51 PM

What are the advantages of using this on a stock setup? I plan on boosting later on down the road....

Also does the rev limiter not matter if your ecu is programmed to limit the revs?

The b14 has different wire colors anyone knows the color combination for the b14?

Jaketips42 · 07-04-2006, 12:32 PM

I have the 6a sitting on my desk colecting dust. Should I use it or sell it? I am built NA. Sorry for the threadjack...

topdog781 · 07-23-2006, 12:55 AM

I hooked up all the wires according to the diagram yet the box does not function. I heard a rumor about an inline transitor that needs to be removed for the b14 body. Does anyone have any info on this? I will take advice from any 200sx owner.

topdog781 · 07-23-2006, 04:17 AM

Nevermind after 2 hours of searching YAHOO(NO THANKS TO THE MSD SITE!!!) I just found out that THE MSD IGNITION BOX CANNOT BE INSTALLED ON THE B14 SR20de motor BECAUSE IT IS A TRANSITOR TYPE COIL DAMM IT!!!. MSD 6al BOX FOR SALE SOON!!!
