I was going to get the MSD sport compact ignition system, but my friend told me that i would need 2 of them because the fc has 2 ignition systtem. Is this true? Its an 88 vert btw.

 

If you wanted to run them on all of your spark plugs, you would actually need 3 of the listed device. One for the leading, and two for the trailing.

However, you will only see any noticable benefits by putting the box on the leading ignition coil and leaving the trailings in stock operating form. Adding the two extra boxes will not give any noticable change in performance below 700 hp levels.

Why choose the MSD Sport compact ignition box? Its pretty much identical to the much cheaper MSD-6A, save the box it comes packaged in.

To clarify: you only need one box to get the benefits of CDI ignition.

 

yup what he said I have an msd 6a and really didn't notice much of a differance besides making the idle a tad bit smoother.

 

is it worth the money? Also where did you get the msd 6a?

 

um I would spend the money on other things first and once you get enough hp then go with it because thats when you will notice a differance supposedly. I got the msd 6a from a guy on thepartstrader.com a long time ago however you can get them on ebay for just as cheap.
