MSD 6AL Install

[Marty73]

Quick question for the group, to those that have installed an MSD 6AL- install is pretty straight forward and I do plan on deleting the BR. Would I be able completely delete the original ECU? I assume it will no longer perform any function Thoughts?

Thanks!

I installed the MSD 6AL as part of my FiTech EFI installation. Stock ballast resistor and ECU are not used but all stock wiring were kept. It can be reverted back later if needed. I fabricated some wiring pigtails for the 12 volt start. You need to get the MSD mounting bracket. Also using the MSD coil and new Iridium plugs when I did the install a few years ago.

Highly recommend that you use the ring connector instead of the spade type connector at the coil post. The spade connector failed and I had to get my car towed. Easy fix but I did not see it when the car was dead on the street.

Yes you delete the BR  and the stock ecu. I've had a MSD box in my car for 17 years now with no issues. I left all the stock wiring intact.

Yes you delete/remove the BR and ECU. I removed all vestiges of the stock wiring for those pieces. I have no intention of ever going back to '70's era electronic ign. As good as it was, it's no match for current offerings. I've since moved the MSD to the trunk with the battery. So I don't appear to have any ecu when the hood is opened.

As a follow up, took about an hour to put in. Very simple install, car idles and responds much better then it ever did before. Wish I had done this years ago!

I found that as well. And I also feel it pulls harder on launch. Not that i play stop light grand prix as often as I used to...but...once in a while.
