MSD-6al ignition for an AMC 360?

May 26, 2004 9 Replies

Hi guys. I'm thinking about putting an MSD-6al into an '82 AMC 360 motor. This ignition has a rev limiter which can be programmed for 3000, 6000,



7000, and 8000. I'm just wondering what the red line is on this motor and if I do the MSD, which pill should I use. I'm thinking 6000 is WAY high, and 3000 is WAY low. Any thought? Thanks, Pete

Thanks, Bill. I'll do that for sure. I was just wondering what the redline was to see if I could even use a rev limiter that was preprogrammed at those numbers, and also to see if anybody knows what the actual red line was so the motor doesn't get "vented" or otherwise damaged prematurely.

Thanks again, I (and I'm sure countless other guys) appreciate all the input you give to this forum. Pete

Just so you know, there are more modules available for that unit. The ones you listed are the ones included with the box. Here is the page that shows the modules available:

Do you know if those figures gross or net hp, Bill ?

All auto makers used flywheel or gross HP ratings until somewhere in the early '70s.

It's an '82 from a Wagoneer. It's in my '84 CJ. I've got a Edelbrock Performer 600 cfm four barrel, Performer Intake, K&N filter, headers, 2.5" duals w/ cats and dynomax turbo mufflers.

Thank you! I didn't know that's the way they came. That will work perfectly if I decide to spend the money. I'm going to check into the blueprint idea first though I think. I bookmarked that page so I can go back to it for part numbers. Now the goal is to find out how high I can twist that motor up to. Pete
