This may seem like a stupid question but is a MSD 6AL ignition piggybacked with a BTM (from a Vortech kit) equal in function to a MSD 6BTM igniton?

Yep same thing, just two boxes :)

That's what I used to do. It worked great for me.
I do the same, Digital 6 and a BTM.
Yes, I use a MSD 6AL and the Vortech boost retard.
Works great :cool:
Thanks for the help.
Actually its better with the 2 boxes because you can also set what rpm you want to start pulling timing at.
That isnt possible with the 6BTM.
Any of you guys have a wiring diagram/pic of the 6AL and BTM combo? I don't have any of the components/manuals yet... just planning ahead.
Thanks,
The 6AL is easy, just buy the adapter harness for $15.oo.
The BTM is a little more complicated, the adjuster knob goes into the passenger compartment and then there are 4 wires to hook up. I'll post a pic if you want to see.
Any help (pics) would be great. Does the BTM go between the 6AL and the coil or what?
A little late on the reply but....drop me an e-mail. I'll see if I can dig up my wiring diagrams, scan them & e-mail them back to you.
Keep in mind that I have a Digital 6 though, but the wiring should be the same for the core wires.

Better yet, here's a link to all of MSD's instal manuals.
You can download the complete instructions for both the 6al and the BTM.
Just click on "downloads", then on "instructions"

For some reason I am not getting the pics on the download. I am about to install the vortech boost retard stand alone unit with my 6AL if some body has a diagram that would save me alot of time. Thanks michael.dickinson@sbcglobal.net
If you want to you can call me and i'll tell you exactly where each wire goes. Thats what i run is a 6AL and a Vortech retard.
(941) 518-4654 Just make sure its in the eves after 5:00 so i'll be at home with my car.
I'm on the MSD website and want to download the right instructions.
Is the MSD BTM #8762 the same as the Vortech box?
Thanks,
Jermey
