msd ignition and wire length

[spooldup]

Is it ok to extend the wiring harness that comes off of the msd box or are they that length for a reason? I would need to extend them by about 2 ft or so.

you can extend it no prob.. just make sure you use the same gauge wire, and have a good soldered connection. I would avoid any butt crimp connections if at all possible.

thanks. I went ahead and installed it. I wasn't sure if i this would create an unacceptable signal drain. On my supra we installed the hks dli. The dli has a red light to let you know it's working. Is there a way to tell if the msd is working or is the fact that the car running the sign that it's working?

If the cars runs the MSD is working, one bad connection and your truck will do nothing. My wires are extended quite a bit, my MS is mounted on top of my lower CCHE.

seems like the question was already answered but i asked msd the same question one time and they said it would work fine up to 14'. you could probably mount the box in the trunk.
