Asking a question for a friend here:

How do you install a MSD 6AL on a 99 Mustang GT with a 4.6l? This has the coil over plug iginiton. Nomally, I know the wires from the MSD plug into the coil, but what about with 8 coils? Do you cut the wires from the computer for the coils?

Thanks for the help!!!

The 6al won't work with the coil pack ignitions,but i think they make one called the digital 8 that is designed to work with that kind of ignition.

This is the ignition he will have to run http://www.msdignition.com/ignition_24_6211_6215.htm

How will that ignition work? It says its designed for 3 or 4 coils, this one has 8?

Thanks for all the help guys! A little more than a 6AL, but not my money, and he has to put on what works. Thanks again!

I was at a speed shop the other day & talkin to the guy about different performance parts for the Stang modular 4.6. One question I asked was if the factory COP ingnition system is a decent setup or a weak link? He suggested Ford did a pretty good job on that, and should be one of the last pieces that need upgrading.

Is that true? Would upgrading the ignition system on a stock or mildly modified 4.6 be worth the effort & $?

Right. If Ford did anything right, the stock ignition is really good. No need to upgrade...
