Title: MSD 5 5200 and soft touch rev control
Post by: Autonutz on May 20, 2015, 02:34:49 pm

Picked up some used parts from a coworker and hoping i can use them on my truck but still new to this so correct me if i'm wrong!
I have what believe to be a 350 (still identifying) with headers and a high flow air filter, hooked up to a th400.

These are the new parts:
MSD-5  model 5200
Soft touch rev control  model 8710

I took a look online for instructions but the wiring diagram didnt seem coincide with the distributor i have.
Couldnt find anything on the rev control only different models.

According to MSD, the MSD 5 is not recommended for use with HEI.  Although I'm not endorsing any one box over another, you would be better off using a capacitive discharge (CD) ignition box such as the MSD 5520, MSD 6AL, Summit 850610, or Summit 850611, etc.
