MSD's Direct Ignition System (DIS) converts an early-style engine from a conventional distributor and single coil to eight individual coils, one per cylinder, eliminating the moving parts, cap, and rotor that wear out in a traditional distributor. Digitally controlled timing delivers precision accuracy at every RPM and firing event, with racer-focused functions like individual cylinder timing, a timing retard for boosted and nitrous applications, a two-step rev limiter, launch control, and built-in data acquisition.
