MSD Direct Ignition System (DIS) Kits for Traditional V8 engines

Ignition performance - Its the key to getting the most horsepower and reliability out of your engine. Modern engine designs have done away with the venerable distributor in favor of distributor-less ignition systems. To help bridge the gap, MSD’s Direct Ignition System adapts V8 engines designed to operate with a distributor to a Coil-Per-Plug system. MSD’s DIS conversion kit allows you to take advantage of the finer levels of ignition control helping you increase power output, improve consistency and reliability.

Basically coilpacks for an old engine. What I've been wanting to do to my 460 project work truck for quite some time. Better combustion, possibly better sound as well.

[@rubenalfonzo33]

excellent MSD brand congratulations from Caracas Venezuela

[@firebird70]

Do you have a kit for the traditional pontiacs 350-400-455’s ? Or how can it be adapted ?

[@aldente3585]

This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! My problem is, they thought of everything except when it comes to mounting, you’re on your own! This is where MSD is unable to relate to the consumer. Plus it’s an opportunity for them to make even more money; I would buy the valve covers to fit this system.

[@basketballcory2]

Fab it up

[@aldente3585]

@@basketballcory2 that’s the whole point of my comment, I don’t want to build stuff for an ignition system that I’ve already paid $1250.00 for. Sure I have the skills, materials, and tools but I don’t want to spend the time to fabricate something that msd could make and it would look better and allow me more time to work on the fifty other things I have to do to my truck. Think of it like you bought a house but the foundation is not available and you have to build it yourself.

[@rhinevalleygarage]

I was thinking the exact same thing...ok there's the kit, where's my direct fit plug and play mounting solution???

[@chehystpewpur4754]

@@aldente3585 ever hear of a manufactured house? but you have to also remember everyone wants something else and too many resto mods want everything hidden. you mount it the way you see fit because its your car. some people like their ignition parts on the firewall for some dumb reason. most people buying this would be paying someone else for the install anyways so its their problem in the end. but the guys that build their own cars already have a way they want them mounted so adding to the cost for a bracket that ends up in a trash can wasnt a smart move on their part so they didnt make one. personally ive really been thinking about piecing the whole thing together myself as it would be a ton cheaper. you could easily run a reluctor wheel on the flywheel or crank pulley/balancer you could use on on your cam the sky is the limit really. and basically delete the distributor as a whole. all you need in the hole for the distributor is a cap and a geared shaft to spin the oil pump. you could do a dry sump but i dont trust electric motors enough. belt driven also works but also prone to failure. but i like simple and easy to source parts as i drive my builds and i like to be able to get parts anywhere i go even if i very rarely need them its nice not having to order and wait 2-4 weeks from manufacturer only if its not on back order. get your welder out and tack a couple nuts on your valve covers and its done it was a whole lot faster than whatever crap bracket they would have sent that broke 3 weeks later and melted the coils anyways. there is no way they could sell the kit if they had to r and d every possible top end combo for fitment to produce a kit that was universal. believe me id love to live in a world that we were sold plug and play products with no hassles involved but i also do enjoy making things work the way i intended because rarely are my use cases what a product was intended for also usually a hassle using whats supplied. yeah sometimes it makes life more difficult but it also makes it alot more fun in the end result..

[@aldente3585]

@@chehystpewpur4754 I like your idea of welding nuts onto the valve cover! That’s the way to go

[@brendahensley2015]

So I have a 455 Oldsmobile with fast ez efi 2.0 with the fast distributor. Will this work with my system? I also have e6 and e92. Is it better than that setup?

[@faisalalblushi374]

Am running “Link Ecu xtreme“ with ford 302 windsor. Do I have re-tune again if I installed this kit? Or directly plug&play?

[@pasha_houston]

Does msd make this kit for a straight 6 engine?

[@ieattaco11]

Will the cam sensor in the distributor communicate with the stock ecm????

[@michaelrriscoll2631]

Can this work to replace the crab style distributor on my 98 tahoe 5.7 vortec ?

[@foxgdsmck]

can i add this to my 7.5L gas 460 in a 97' f-250? tired of constantly cleaning off my rotor for better firing.

[@jeffrey-deitch]

Will this work with Atomic 2 or Sniper EFI systems?

[@buchmannray]

Can this system be gotten with tach drive? I prefer the tach drive vs electronic

[@josecarlospedrazaojeda9370]

Where do you find the bracket?

[@bigdavedownunder]

I run an Australian engine that's i using a 8589 distributor will the sbc kit fit my engine

[@323jo3y]

Will it work with MSD 2900 EFI?

[@mistersniffer6838]

Man, did they miss the boat!? Is this comparable now with a crank trigger system?

[@mstar501]

Any kit for '90s 5 cylinder 2.3e AAR engine?

[@LeakyDiaper]

Got any of them free samples?

[@addisondoty4231]

Can this be adapted for a Ford V6 like the 2.9

[@bigjeff1979]

Will this work with Holley terminator X

[@andrewlanger2168]

Can I adapt this to a slant six?

[@tripplegracing8276]

What about 4 cylinder? inline?

[@b.c6015]

Can it run 4-7 swap cam

[@markc01835]

is this worth getting if i have a Holley Terminator X for my SGF 302?

[@young11984]

Typical no response from them as usual

[@bradjanuchowski8471]

Want one

[@jerrylegates3023]

Will this work for a 89 c1500

[@deltacx1059]

But what about a inline 4?

[@Dadmissesyou]

Do you need a crank sensor with this setup?

[@tonkatoytruck]

Its more like, can we do away with the distributor and use a crank sensor trigger.

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Do you have a model with a dis steel gear for roller cammed ford 302?

[@kurtstrains]

you can change the gear on the disy

[@mustangjoe2066]

Will these be made for mustang 1987-93 5.0 or 1989-93 5.0?tired of tfi module always cooking because of hot distributor, thank you

[@young11984]

Why not get a TFI module relocation kit, much cheaper. Explorer set up works and can be converted to coil near plug also but only as a batch fire like the coil pack

[@Los_Chanchulleros]

Cheaper to found a donor 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer.

[@onlyontv]

Does this work with Holley Sniper Efi?

[@flipiiiboi]

yes, just use the gray tach output wire and splice to crank rpm sensing (purple wire adapter). after i installed and started for the first time the sniper cut out because it couldn't sense crank speed.

[@Devo1987]

I have a 1998 gmc k1500 5.0L I sure would love to test these out send me one :-)

[@ivanracing27]

I hace a Mustang 1995 whit 351w efi wha price this sistem

[@jefferywalton8176]

Can I use this with a crank trigger instead of the distributor?

[@hectorortega9131]

Yes.

[@tylerbrasseaux1367]

The edelbrock pro flo 4 system has its own programmable ECU and support for single coil ignition system only. Say its possible to disable ignition control in their software, could this easily be used in conjunction as a "piggyback" to run DIS?

[@quintariousleavy7173]

Wanting to know this as well have you gotten in info on this ?

[@trdscfjc]

Why not just run a Terminator X ecu?

[@shaneroser6235]

So I am guessing it has a separate cam and crank trigger so you can use it on any ECU ???

[@mightyeagle]

Well-being to the camshaft via the gear and I believe it has a sensor for the crank somehow inside, but this is what I’ve been told I haven’t actually seen it

[@shaneroser6235]

I did end up buying 1 of these and it works grate@@mightyeagle

[@chrisjarczewski3698]

Anything for the Chrysler brand....

[@bradjanuchowski8471]

I have a 350 small block Chevy I could test these on and give review

[@Dragonborn__]

Brad Januchowski Please do! I’m dying to see how they compare.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

This is a LEI (low tension) ignition system, there is still a distributor...

[@DIYDaveT]

Yeah but at low voltages the cap and rotor will last forever and you will never get cross firing or other difficult to diagnose problems.

[@deanb949]

@@DIYDaveT BUT, this system isn't as rock solid as a true Crank Trigger system.

[@brendahensley2015]

So Chevy and Ford only, That figures

[@bradjanuchowski8471]

Need some testers???

[@stephenhodge6441]

Do you think they released it to the public without testing? And you think a large company like this doesn't have a few 350's laying around to test on?

[@leea5123]

I bet they don't have a kit for a mopar 360 Magnum engine

[@omar__0rtega409]

Did you find one after all

[@michaelgilly2423]

It's a piston engine ..lol come on why do you think top fuel cars are taking the engine apart every run? Do not need to buy this stuff it's a piston engine..lol come on.. 😂 new one coming out it's a strong as a lightning ⚡ burns your plugs rite up..lol come on guys I can take a stock Mopar distributor lock it out run 9$ with stock coil..lol I done it theses guys are in business to sell new stuff same as new phones tv like a TV if it's 1080 120Hz your good!!!

[@Casey_and_Cars]

No lol Its not the 1959s anymore. Distributors are dead technology and should be thrown directly in the trash.

[@Casey_and_Cars]
