Even for those who are leery of wiring, the 6LS makes it a simple task with factory-style connectors for the camshaft and crankshaft sensors, coil packs, and coolant temperature sensor. It is set up to accept both the 24x/1 or 58x/4 crank/cam sensors, so all of the LS platform is covered. Of course, battery and ignition hot connections are required, but that’s it.

To ease the intimidation of programming, users can choose from several pre-set timing calibrations through a rotary switch. There are settings for nearly any LS-based crate or donor engine to get your new engine fired up and driving smoothly.

For those who have put a little more compression or cam into their engines, the ignition settings can easily be adjusted and programmed through MSD’s View software (free to download). Once the software is opened on your PC, you’ll be able to map out a complete timing curve and even change timing between cylinders.

A few other advanced features of the 6LS include setting a 2-step rev limiter for a launch limit and overrev protection. There is also a built-in 2.5-Bar MAP sensor that allows a timing curve to be based on boost pressure or can serve as a basis for a vacuum advance while cruising. If nitrous is your thing, a step retard can be set up to activate when the spray is active.

One more trick feature is the Launch Retard map. This allows you to retard the ignition timing at the launch to soften the power at the rear wheels, before the timing is ramped back in based on time. This serves as a great tuning tool on the drag strip, as does the 8MB of data recording storage provided in the 6LS as well!

If EFI has been keeping you from swapping over to an LS engine, the 6LS is the answer to your engine swap plans. The unit is basically plug-and-play, doesn’t require a laptop or advanced programming, and controls all of the ignition aspects while an old school carb meters the air and fuel. (It should be noted that the 6LS can also be used to support aftermarket Throttle Body EFI systems like the Sniper or Atomic systems as well!) There are just no excuses not to make the move to LS performance!
