Just purchase week and a half ago, the 6530, also using trigger wheel. Software reading double the RPM that my tachometer is reading. And yes, I changed the software to the correct total cylinders in the tree. 2 different Tech support guys had no answer to this problem.....I just sent it back so they can look inside the box. Hope they find the problem!

Great video. I have had the same MSD box for 25 years, still running. Question: Do you need to put an inline fuse from the battery to the MSD box. ever in the, and do you ever run the box through a relay? The relay using the trigger wire would be a great anti theft adition.

Man I’m struggling with my 6al... 95 mustang GT it’ll flash five times but still start. It’ll run for a little bit. Even days. With a Little Miss in it And a sputtering idle... then out of nowhere it’ll break down and won’t start for a while. It’s even backfired if you times. I’m just really stuck I replace distributor Cap and rotor. I don’t even make the car not ride right the shift doesn’t feel right when is acting up and about to die... Sometimes it will fire up perfect And run great... New plugs new wires the only codes I’m picking up the EGR which has been removed. Thermactor Air system and left and right side which would be the smoke pump It’s sure it’s been removed as well... I’m still gonna do the field test tomorrow any information would be helpful I can upload videos as well

The box gives you strong multiple sparks which are greater than a stock ignition system. I have a 6AL model 6420 which is analog and not digital cause I didn’t want the known failures of the digital box since the new boxes are made in China. Pick up a used one that was made in USA.

I have had this same box on my 1965 Mustang 289 using a 1985 5.0 stock Ford distributor, stock cap and rotors and 1985 stock Standard Igniiton coil for 35 years. It still runs perfect. And in 35 years I have the same components: distributor cap & rotor , coil, plugs, plug wires. I have never touched it since I installed it. Now I can't comment on any made in china box. But my US made box is great. And now having the internet and videos, great. 35 years ago I had the manual. Engine: 289 bored 40 over, REED cam, dual plane manifold with a 650 Holley, roller rockers, 5spd TREMEC, aluminium drive shaft, 3:55 possy dif. And for anyone who had read this far, if you want to know my personal modification using all original parts to get the car to handle better than a Shelby Mustang, and no nose dive. The car sits level, with 1968 Mustang big block coils with 1/3rd coil cut off. The trick is a little mod on the upper contro arms. When installing new upper control arm bushings shift the shaft rearward giving you more caster. And I hardly have any shims, whcih almost hard mounts the upper arms to the frame. Finish it off with a half leaf on the rear leaf spring. One inch from and 11/16th rear sway bars using adjustabe heim joints. My small claims to fame as a custom car builder: I built a AC Cobra that holds the track record at Road Atlanta and I built the prototype AC Cobra for Exicalibur Motors. I miss those days.
