MSD's Direct Ignition System converts an early-style engine from a conventional distributor and single coil to eight individual coils, one per cylinder, eliminating the moving parts of a distributor and the wear of a cap and rotor. Timing is digitally controlled for precision accuracy at all RPM, with advanced functions for racers including individual cylinder timing, boost/nitrous timing retards, a two-step rev-limiter, launch control, and data acquisition. To convert an early Chevy, Ford, or Mopar, the worn distributor is replaced with an MSD Pro-Billet Dual Sync Distributor and blank cap; the Dual Sync plugs directly into the 6015MSD DIS control providing cam and crank signals, and the DIS plugs into a set of GM smart (LS) coils.
