Suggestions for install a msd 6al ignition.

only if your a middle to advanced home mechanic. An ultra quick overview: It involves un-bolting the rear axle cover, pulling out the two rear axle splines from the differential, removing the diff&ring, removing the pinion, then swapping the ring and pinion out with the new set. It also involves getting the ring & pinion spacing "just right" with spacers, the correct backlash, gear engagement etc. There is also a special tool needed for measurements and another tool for easy pinion removal. I heard somewhere that motorcraft makes thier so you can get some kind of tool that makes it easier to get the spacing right, maybe everyone does this, i dont know. If you have a lot of patience and are like me, i Refuse to pay anyone to do anything to my cars, just because i dont want them screwing around in thier, and i love working on cars, so. Most of the tools im pretty sure u can rent or if ur lucky have a buddy you can borrow from. Search the web, because there are several pages that tell you every tool you need and have step by step pics that show u how to do it.
