Today’s high-performance engines benefit from accurate timing control, dependable spark delivery, and a streamlined engine compartment. Replacing a conventional distributor with a coil-per-plug arrangement enhances ignition efficiency while enabling more advanced calibration options for both street and track applications. The MSD DIS Direct Ignition System Kit is designed to modernize classic V8 platforms with contemporary ignition technology.
This system converts distributor-equipped engines to a direct ignition, coil-per-plug configuration, removing cap and rotor components and minimizing spark loss associated with long plug wires. An integrated 2.5 bar MAP sensor supports forced induction combinations, and an optional temperature sensor input allows timing adjustments based on engine heat. Programmable 2D and 3D timing tables, along with Individual Cylinder Timing capability, provide detailed control over ignition events.
Additional features include a single-step timing retard function for nitrous use, adjustable maximum RPM and launch RPM limiters, and a launch timing retard to help promote consistent starts. Setup and real-time tuning are performed through MSDView software using a Mini USB connection. The unit also includes onboard data logging with 8 MB of internal memory for monitoring and review. Fully sealed and potted electronics, weather-resistant connectors, a clearly labeled harness, and preloaded timing maps help simplify installation. Kits are currently available for Chevy and Ford V8 applications. Offered in black or red finishes.
Built for durability and precise spark management, this direct ignition system provides the versatility required for naturally aspirated, supercharged, turbocharged, or nitrous-assisted engines. It delivers advanced control and reliable performance in demanding environments. Backed by a 1-Year Warranty.
