Warning:

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.
