Good luck getting it to work. You'll need the correct lot tach adapters for starters. Also I don't know if the 6AL even works on a hybrid OBD-I EEC-V but I know it doesn't on OBD-II. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

This is because there are only THREE coils inside the coil pack. It would be a damn shame if you don't get all your money back for that thing. -Auto Makor- -Experimentor -Station Wagonor- -Computerizor- I have a foot that is bigger than a foot. SuperChipFOR SALE

You do know that any "add on" device like that MSD only makes changes AFTER the fact right. It works nothing like the PCM does. For that matter the 6AL DOES NOT retard timing like you want it to do. MSD has a digital box that can retard based on boost signal but that's still a hack way of tuning. Also the PCM will continue to make changes to the timing curve and the "box" has to be reset & reset & reset. Just get a tuned chip and be done with it already. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor!
