The MSD 6AL as a adjustable "soft-touch" rev-limter that drops spark instead of fuel.
I prefer the 6AL to the 6A. It's only I a little bit more. -Josh, aka the tireburner

The only hard part about hooking up the MSD is find a place to mount it.

They sell a direct plug in for mustangs so you don't have to splice at all and its well worth the like $10.

The harness just makes more of mess in my opinion. Im done with MSD boxes, just switched over to Mallory.

Yeah it will have no problems with the T5 or a auto if you ever switch.
The rev limiter is a feature that cuts the spark to cylinders in a alternate pattern (to prevent gas building up in the chamber it basicly fires the odds then the evens) by doing this it stops the motor from reving. So if you set it at 5,000 rpms you can floor it in neutral and it will rev to 5,000 then stop. This prevents damage to your motor if you miss a gear or something. It becomes really important as the power levels go up. |

What the rev limiter does is stop you from over revving your motor. When you buy the MSD 6AL it come with chips with RPM on them like 3000 6500 7000. what ever chip you put in. it will not rev pass that RPM. you could put a 3000 chip in it to test it. Stand on it and it will hit the rev limiter at 3000. MSD 6AL has nothing to do with your trans.

Yes, and dont sit at the line on the limiter for 20 seconds either. Its not the best thing for your motor.
