****SOLD****
Thank you!


MSD 6AL ignition box with GM connect wiring harness.

This ignition box was on my Fiero V6 before I installed the V8. Since this is a 6AL box, it is only able to be used on a V6 or 4-cyl engine. Cannot be used on a V8 (had to cut a wire - I can explain more if you dont know about this box)

Asking $160.00, shipping included to lower 48 cont. US states.

Any interest? This is a pretty good deal, compared to buying both new!

The 6AL comes with everything that it had in the box when it was brand new!

Why wont it work with a V8?

I am using a 6AL on my 47 Chevy with a 506! Why won't this one work on a V8?

I had this 6AL box on my Fiero when I had a V6 (3.4OHV). I currently have a 350c.i. V8 in that same Fiero, and that also has a 6AL box, so yes, I know that a 6AL box will work with a V8.

If you have a MSD 6AL box, you will know that it is able to be used with a 4, 6, or 8 cyl motor. When it is made, it is calibrated to work with an eight cylinder motor. On the side of the actual MSD 6AL box there is a little black "cap". Remove this cap and you will see two wire "loops". You do not modify anything if you plan to use an 8cyl - you cut ONE of these "loops" if you plan to use a 6cyl - or you cut both of these "loops" if you plan to use a 4cyl motor.

Since I had this box installed on a 3.4L (ohv) V6 motor, I had to cut ONE of the "loops" which will disable this box from being used on a V8 motor.

I believe these loops is what lets the "REV limiter" inside the MSD box know how many cylinders the motor has.

If you need any more info, or dont believe me, please say so, I will copy the page of the instructions that come with the box that says what I wrote above

I believe you, I was just wondering if it could be fixed to use on my V8. It sounds like a good deal and I was interested if it could be made to work on my V8.

Since that one wire was cut, I dont know. Its up to you if you wanted to crack it open and try to solder a new wire in, basically completing that circuit so the box thinks that it is powering a V8. Im not personally going to mess with that though.

Let me know if you want to take a hack at it?
