Guys,

I've got many an electronic gizmo on my N/A 3.8.....They're all O.K. but none have given me such outstanding results as this thing did!

It is awesome! She revs supurbly smooothhh....at all shift points and throttle positions. Un-imaginable power! This is my testimonial......this thing delivers!

I am going to add an msd box to my car soon but my major question is can I use the msd billet distributor on my turbo 3.8 with modifying?

Pat,

I think MSD only has one type of Billet HEI distributor and it's not compatible with any of the EST/HEI type distributors we use on our cars. (MSD's is the pre-1980's vac type HEI).

One would have to dis-engage the ECM system and use a non-electronic Q-Jet along with many other minor alterations if the MSD Billet distributor is to be used.

On the good note....you can use the MSD ignition control.

*Turbo applications use the MSD 6BTM.
