MSD PROGRAMMABLE DIS-2, PN 6212
The Programmable DIS-2 Ignition Control is a programmable, high output ignition control designed for distributorless
ignition systems. It delivers high powered CD multiple sparks and provides the ability to program and control a
variety of rpm and timing functions ranging from Individual Cylinder Timing to retards for each gear.
Programming the features of the Controllers can be done with a PC using MSD’s Pro-Data+ software, or with the
MSD Hand Held Monitor, PN 7550 (See Page 60). This software can be downloaded from www.msdignition.com at
no charge.
Note: The programming and features of the Programmable DIS-2 are explained at length in the installation
instructions. These can be downloaded at www.msdignition.com or contact the MSD Customer Support
Department and they will send you a copy (915-855-7123).

This wire connects directly to the battery positive (+) terminal or a positive battery
junction such as the starter solenoid. Note: Do not connect to the alternator.
This wire connects to a good ground, either at the battery negative (-) terminal or
to the engine. Note: Engine must be grounded to battery negative.
This wire connects to the coil 1 positive (+) terminal. This is the ONLY wire that
makes electrical contact with the positive coil terminal.
This wire connects to the coil 1 negative (-) terminal. This is the ONLY wire that
makes electrical contact with the negative coil terminal.
This wire connects to the coil 2 negative (-) terminal. This is the ONLY wire that
makes electrical contact with the negative coil terminal.
This wire connects to the coil 2 positive (+) terminal. This is the ONLY wire that
makes electrical contact with the positive coil terminal.
