CARBURETOR
The PN 6010 Ignition Controller is designed for GM Gen III engines that have been retro-fit with an
intake manifold and carburetor. The Controller can also be used in stock, EFI applications, by using
accessory Harness PN 8886. The factory coils or MSD Coil, PN 8245, must be used. The Controller
is supplied with a wiring harness that connects to the factory connectors for a simple installation. A
shorter harness designed for mounting the unit on the intake manifold is available as PN 60101.
EFI
This Controller can also be used in stock, EFI applications, by using accessory Harness PN 8886.
This Harness allows the PN 6010 Controller to tap into the sensor signals without interrupting the OEM
ECU. The ECU and coils operate as normal while the PN 6010 controls the timing and rpm.
OPERATION
The MSD Controller offers several programmable features that allow rpm and timing adjustments. This
can be achieved through the supplied Pro-Data+ software via a PC or with the optional Hand Held
Programmer, PN 7550. Timing adjustments and selections can also be made with plug-in modules.
Software installation, operation and the programmable features of the Controller are explained in detail
in this document. More information can be found in the Pro-Data+ Software Help section.
MOUNTING
The Controller is designed to be mounted under the hood or on the firewall. Do not mount the unit
near exhaust, upside down or seal the base as that leaves no way for any moisture to escape the
unit. Four vibration mounts are supplied to mount the unit. Find a suitable location, confirm that all
of the wires reach their connections. Mark the mounting hole locations using the unit. Drill the holes
with a 3/16" bit.
WIRING
All of the wiring, except four wires, are routed into factory style connectors to ensure an easy installation.
The wire descriptions follow in the chart on pages 2 and 3.
