The MSD 6-Offroad Ignition Control is designed specifically for heavy duty offroad use. This is a capacitive discharge, multiple spark ignition which means that every spark is at full power no matter what rpm you're at. When you're crawling over rocks or creeping up steep grades, these full power sparks are a huge advantage.
Below 3,000 rpm the MSD produces multiple sparks rather than just a single spark. This spark series lasts for 20° of crankshaft rotation whether there is two or six sparks. This ensures complete combustion of the fuel mixture producing more power and quick throttle response. At speeds over
3,000 rpm, there is only a single spark, however that spark also lasts for the full 20° of crank rotation.
To battle the harsh offroad elements, the 6-Offroad is completely potted with an epoxy compound called ResTech. This material encases the unit creating a water and vibration proof ignition. Weathertight connectors are installed to provide positive locking and water resistant electrical connections.
The 6-Offroad will install to virtually any vehicle with a 12 volt electrical system and a distributor. It will connect to points, amplifiers or magnetic pickups on 4, 6 or 8-cylinder engines.
NOTE: The MSD 6-Offroad Ignition Control features a special connector that plugs directly into the Offroad Rev Control.
