I want to upgrade my entire ignition sytem to a MSD but I'm not sure of what to get, MSD6A? Is this the one. what else will I need? It's for a 2000 3.9L 5 spd. It has the distributor and coil.
Thanks:)

MSD 6A ignition, Blaster SS coil, 8.5 mm Superconductor wires, and autolite 3923 plugs. Anyone else, am I forgetting something?

Just make sure on the 6a that is the model that DOES NOT Say "odd fire" on it.

You may need the tach adapter on the 2000 or it
will throw coil circuit code
The Autolite plugs
reg 3923 .050
plat tip .060
Try the plugs you have now just open the gap but
its best to start with a fresh set and adjust
heat range and gap until your plug is a tan color
this will tune the ign system in

Thanks

Only takes an hour or 2 to install the system most
of that is finding a place and mounting the unit
Call summit racing 1 800 230 3030 they have a
good price on the system and will know the # for
the tach adapter
MSD 6a
SS Blaster coil
Tach adapter
MSD 8.5 wires if you use there coil stock will not
hold up and like to burn right near the ends, you
can run the system with stock coil and wires also
but if you change coil get the wires
all around $250 $300
I would also invest in one of there SS blaster
E Core coils 40,000 plus volts
You can find plugs and pins at you local radio
shack so you don't need to cut any wires
