![]() I know this is reguarding MSD on Mustangs but I just added the MSD 6A and Blaster 2 coil to my F150 with the 300 CI inline 6. I must say the performance and fuel mileage gains are noticeable. I added these components to the F150 first because it will be towing the Mustang and I wanted better fuel mileage and a little more power. In addition, I thought if I didn't like the components on the F150 I could install them on the Mustang since they both have the same igniton system. Hopefully I will be adding another MSD 6A to the Mustang in the spring.

![]() I hadn't really considered it for my application, like you said, better to wait till there is an obvious need or the stock gear needs replacing. But there was a guy who was asking about alternators and he was wondering what effect an upgrade would have on his "MSD" unit. I wasn't sure what the function an msd was. It sounds like a good idea however, even if your stock gear isn't worn out yet.

![]() Actually it won’t raise your stock rev limiter, you need another computer to do that.
The stock rev limiter cuts off the fuel at 6250 rpm's but you can raise it to 6450 by wiring the fuel pump to the ignition; at that point the computer cuts off the injectors. Having the fuel shut off is not the best way to control rpm's especially if you ever run NOS. The msd controls rpm's by cutting out spark. The coil in the mustangs is a pretty good unit, so you probably will not notice much gain in performance but it is still a good piece to have. ------------------ James Cox nochevy@hotmail.com 1991 Mustang LX 12.565 @109.38mph 1.764 60ft |
