Can I put an off-road MSD ignition box on my 86 trooper? If so where can I buy one from?

Do you have the 2.6?

I have an MSD on my '90 Trooper w/ a 2.6. I bought it off of a buddy. MSD 6A is the unit I am running. Only other thing you need is the correct Tach Adapter. I called MSD to get the correct part number for our trucks.

Why do you want an MSD ignition on your Trooper? Are you running nitrus or something else that you would need the ignition to compensate for by changing the timing more than the factory set up?

I am not flaming, just curious.

Body Damage is Cool
I found the MSD does make a tiny bit of difference to performance on my setup , and should help once i get around to putting in my supercharger.Even for a stock application , it will help , but don't expect a huge improvement thats super noticable.It just makes it run a little smoother , and I found it improved my idle just a tad.

I wasnt looking for a big bang for my buck, Including the MSD box with a better Cam, exhaust, and Carb, I should have a solid running engine the thing only has 1k on it.Oh and did I mention I may advance the timing if the can wont defeat the purpose.
