I just installed a MSD ignition box, model 6A that I got off a buddy who had it for his car but then sold the car. I ran the car around the block and really dont see much of a difference other than it idles a bit better, even though at first when at idle and I gave it some gas it sputtered a bit then caught itself. So what are the advantages, disadvantages of installing this? Car is an 1988 GT, basically stock. Thanks.

Basically it increases the ignition voltage of the spark. Multiple Spark Discharge. If I remember right, under 3K rpm's the spark plug ignites 3 times at each fire, above 3K rpm's it jumps up the voltage so there is a hotter spark. Too bad it wasn't a 6AL, you would have had an adjustable rev limiter.

In theory, it should ensure a more complete combustion burn, increasing fuel efficiency, increase power, reduce misfire, etc.

it's better because the secondary spark is stronger than stocks almost non existent and therefore gives you a more complete burn

thanks guys, you just explained a lot

Actually, it's 6 sparks for every 20 degrees of crank rotation when a given cylinder is on the power stroke, as opposed to 1 for the stock ignition. It'll give better starting, smoother engine acceleration, and a more complete burn of the air fuel mix. It's more beneficial on modified cars, and no, it doesn't add power.

didn't I just say that*LOL*
