The Digital 6 (6520) does have the start retard built in. The programmable 6AL-2 (6530) does not. You program it exactly how you want it. I have the 6AL-2 and I think you do too?
Ok I have been playing with my new MSD 6AL-2 programmable box and trying to set up a fuel curve here. First time doing this and wondering what you guys think.
Yep you're right , got me there, there isn't a switched start retard like on the 6520. You can just take 30 deg out below 400 that will make starting easy. Fix that on your timing map will you.
Now explain to me where in the instructions the MSD controls adjusts the carb jetting to control the fuel curve?
When Brett and I stopped by to grab my engine on Friday, Mike @ Watson Racing just happened to be dynoing a 650 cubic inch Pro Stock motor. The sound made the hairs stand up all over my body. The hairs did stand up when my motor was on the dyno, but that was for different reasons.
Ok so I was guided to make one more change for the initial map and to add some timing at idle speed. Here is where I am at now. Will be fun to play with it on start up and see how it reacts to some small changes, if anything.
