note:
Solid core spark plug wires or non-resistor spark plugs cannot be used with an MSD Ignition
Control.
CARBURETOR
The PN 6011 Ignition Controller is designed for Ford Modular engines that have been retro-fit with an
intake manifold and carburetor. The Controller is supplied with a wiring harness that connects to the
factory connectors for a simple installation.
EFI
This Controller can also be used in stock EFI applications, by using accessory Harness PN 88814.
This Harness allows the PN 6011 Controller to tap into the sensor signals without interrupting the OEM
ECU. The ECU and coils operate as normal while the PN 6011 controls the timing and rpm. When
using with an EFI system, a tach adapter harness will be required, PN 88813.
OPERATION
The MSD Controller offers several programmable features that allow rpm and timing adjustments. This
can be achieved through the supplied Pro-Data+ software via a PC or with the optional Hand Held
Programmer, PN 7550. Timing adjustments and selections can also be made with plug-in modules.
Software installation, operation and the programmable features of the Controller are explained in detail
in this document. More information can be found in the Pro-Data+ Software Help section.
MOUNTING
The Controller is designed to be mounted under the hood or on the firewall. Do not mount the unit
near exhaust. Find a suitable location, confirm that all of the wires reach their connections. Mark the
mounting hole locations using the unit or the template shown in Figure 3, page 7. Drill the holes with
a 3/16" bit.
WIRING
All of the wiring, except four wires, are routed into factory style connectors to ensure an easy installation
on a SOHC engine. On DOHC engines the coil polarity is reversed. In these applications, the coil
wiring needs to be relocated. It is recommended to look at the polarity markings on the coil to confirm
the polarity. The wire descriptions follow in the chart on page 2.
"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
