MSD's Direct Ignition System (DIS) controller simplifies converting a distributor-type engine to Coil-Per-Plug, eliminating distributor cap and rotor wear and reducing spark energy losses from long plug wires. A built-in 2.5 bar MAP sensor and optional temperature sensor input support naturally aspirated or forced-induction combinations, and real-time tuning is handled through MSDView software.
