PROGRAMMING

CYLINDER SELECT

The MSD is programmed for

operation on 8-cylinder engines.

If installing the Ignition on a

different style engine, the number

of cylinders will need to be

selected on the Cylinder Select

Rotary Switch (Figure 2).

START RETARD

The Start Retard will be activated during cranking only when the Cylinder Select dial is in the 4, 5, 6

or 7 position (Figure 2). During cranking the timing will retard 20° until 800 rpm when it returns to the

mechanical setting. If engine speed drops below 500 rpm, the start retard is activated again.

MAGNETIC PICKUP COMPENSATION

Note: If your application uses the MSD's White wire for the trigger input, the magnetic

compensation circuit is not used.

The Green wire loop of the MSD provides a timing compensation for different style trigger pickups.

Having the ability to program for the style pickup being used provides a more accurate timing signal.

This compensation is used primarily with crank trigger or locked out timing applications.

The Digital MSD is programmed at the factory for use with an MSD Crank Trigger or GM magnetic

pickup. If you are using an MSD Billet Distributor or the magnetic pickup of a Ford or Chrysler

distributor the Green Loop should be cut and sealed (Figure 3).

Note: It is recommended to check your total timing to ensure the setting for your application.

Figure 2 Programming the Number of Cylinders.

Note: Positions 8 and

9 cause the ignition

NOT to run. Use as a

theft deterrant.

Grounds: A poor ground connection can cause many frustrating problems. When a wire is

specified to go to ground, it should be connected to the battery negative terminal, engine block

or chassis. There should always be a ground strap between the engine and the chassis. Always

securely connect the ground wire to a clean, paint free metal surface.

Ballast Resistor: If your vehicle has a ballast resistor in line with the coil wiring, it is recommended

to bypass it.

Routing Wires: The MSD wires should be routed away from direct heat sources such as exhaust

manifolds and headers and any sharp edges. The trigger wires should be routed separate from

the other wires and spark plug wires. It is best if they are routed along a ground plane such as

the block or firewall which creates an electrical shield. The magnetic pickup wires should always

be routed separately and should be twisted together to help reduce extraneous interference.
