hey guys I'm taking a look at a very low use msd 6al unit. the guys wants 150 for it. my question is not only if this is a good price but is an msd useful or what?? I plan to run some nitrous in the future so maybe that would make timing more effective???

Are you looking to buy it from someone named Reaper? :D

That's a good price and you will get a more accurate and hotter spark from that ignition box...idle will be smoother also.

But....if you plan on running nitrous a MSD Digital 6 Plus would be better, it has a one stage timing retard that would tie into the nitrous system taking a set amount of timing out of the motor when it was necessary...although it will cost you roughly $320.

I just moved up to that box from the MSD 6 AL and plan on putting nitrous on my car this Winter.

They're about $220 new. Me personally, I'd rather go with something new, unless maybe you know the guy very well. Then that would be another story. Just my opinion. If this is for your Monte Carlo, then yes, an MSD box will be well worth it. What I like the most about these ignitions is that for a carburetor set-up, especially with the HolleyHP 4150's and the Dominators where you don't have a choke and you drive the vehicle in question on the street before the engine is fully warmed up, the Multiple Spark Discharge greatly diminishes and usually even eliminates the misfires, stalling, and the hesitations that would otherwise occur before the engine is fully warmed up. It creates a better idle, and w/out removing the choppy idle created by a long duration narrow LSA camshaft. So if it matters to you, you can still have that hi-perf sounding idle, but with a better running engine.
Sounds good, looks like i'm sold:)
