The MSD 6015MSD Direct Ignition System (DIS) is a high-performance ignition control box that converts a conventional distributor-and-single-coil setup to a modern coil-per-plug configuration with eight individual coils. By eliminating the distributor cap and rotor, timing is digitally controlled for precision accuracy at every RPM and every firing event — delivering consistent, reliable spark with no mechanical wear points.
The 6015MSD works in conjunction with an MSD Pro-Billet Dual Sync Distributor (sold separately), which plugs directly into the DIS control box to provide cam and crank signals. The system then interfaces with GM Smart Coils (LS coils), bringing modern ignition firepower to classic V8 platforms including GM, Ford, and Mopar applications.
Advanced programmability is handled through MSDView software via a Mini-USB communication port, allowing real-time configuration and tuning changes. The built-in 2.5 bar Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor supports boosted applications, while an optional temperature sensor input enables timing control based on engine temperature.
Key Features:
- Fully programmable 2D and 3D timing maps for complete timing control
- Individual Cylinder Timing (ICT) for precise per-cylinder tuning
- Preprogrammed timing maps for out-of-the-box usability
- Built-in 2.5 bar MAP sensor for naturally aspirated and forced induction engines
- Programmable Launch Timing Retard for consistent holeshots
- Programmable Max Rev and Launch RPM limiters for engine protection
- Two-step rev limiter and step timing retard for nitrous and boosted applications
- Data acquisition capability for monitoring and tuning
- Easily programmable via Mini-USB communication port using MSDView software
- Optional temperature sensor input to adjust timing based on engine temperature
- Fully potted electronics and sealed connectors for maximum durability
- Converts easily to a coil-per-plug ignition system
