Depending upon intended usage, the MSD 6AL is a decent box for the price. It has a rev limiter feature that utilizes "chips" to set max RPM. I run it in my car with a gutted HEI as a trigger.

Ditto Jagtec1. I run the MSD 6AL in my 65 Cat/P-Dude 455. Because of my set-up I felt I needed more/better spark at lower RPM and the MSD did the trick. For an amateur like me the installation instructions were a bit confusing at first but the more I studied them the simpler they got and the installation was pretty easy. Rev limiter chips come with the unit and/or you can get specific RPM chips for your application.
If you are just looking for a rev limiter there may be other options-I'm sure someone will chime in about the Rev Limiter you can put inside the cap of an HEI. I think there was a good post recently about it so you might search the archives. Also check out websites like Jeg's or Summit. |

Not all #6 boxes have RPM protection. If it dont it will cost you $80.00 to convert it.

There is the MSD 6, and the 6AL...I think the 6AL has the rev limiter (mine does). I use an MSD in cap coil. You could get a dust cap for the HEI, and go to an external coil if you so desire.
I just removed the module from the HEI, and simply use it to trigger the box.

i ran my 6al with hei for a trigger with an accell super coil. you should be fine. I would send the distributor out to get it curved for your application and the total advance locked. Mine when set up ran in the 10.50s. at 123. Now i have a comp 9000 and a 7al. Already went through 2 mallory modules, maybe i should switch back
