MSD Ultra 6A Ignition Control - Red
$326.95
The Ultra 6A Series continues to use a high speed controller that can make extremely quick compensations to the output voltage, multiple spark series, timing and rpm limits while maintaining precise timing and accurate rev limiting. The circuits and controller of the MSD have been thoroughly filtered to create protection against Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI).

The Ultra 6A Series feature a capacitive discharge ignition design. The majority of stock ignition systems are inductive ignitions. In an inductive ignition, the coil must store and step up the voltage to maximum strength in between each firing. At higher rpm, since there is less time to charge the coil to full capacity, the voltage falls short of reaching maximum energy which results in a loss of power or top end miss.

Features:
  • Plug and Play upgrade to current installations with a 6201, MSD 6A
  • New processor and board design provide a highly efficient ignition, minimal heat and max spark energy with less current draw
  • 60% smaller and 50% lighter than the MSD Digital 6A (688 grams vs 344 grams)
  • High rpm operation and maximum output using the Blaster HVC, PN 8252 or HVC II, PN 8253
  • Powerful capacitive discharge of multiple sparks improves performance, and ensure complete combustion
  • Consistently high spark energy of 135mJ to 150mJ for every firing, from idle to redline rpm
  • Easily installs on 4, 6, 8-cylinder engines with distributors
  • Operates on most 7 to 28-volt electrical systems
  • Connects to points and magnetic pickups
  • Fully protected against an open coil, shorted coil & open load
  • Compact design - full MSD power

Who is MSD Ignition?

MSD Ignition started back in 1970. Based in El Paso Texas, the company is known for creating quality ignition systems for various automobiles. Today, they are considered the leading company when it comes to the ignition system and has become a brand recognized all over the world.

Changing the Way Vehicles are Made

MSD has helped shape the automotive industry by being the first company in the world to conduct an experiment regarding Multiple Spark Discharge for a vehicle’s ignition system. It has been suggested by Engineers who were working on the White Sands Missile Range in Southern Mexico. They noticed that their quest for power is limited by the amount of spark the ignition system can only generate. Hence, the idea of Multi Spark Discharge.

Racing Application

Soon after the product introduction, racers started applying it to their race cars. Due to its success, other top teams started using MSD which helped paved the way for the brand’s popularity. The majority of the race engines today use MSD and have proven to produce race champions.

The company operates in a 100,000 square feet facility in Texas. They house some of the most state-of-the-art equipment that helps them create products that are superior in quality.
