Default MSD window switch ?

Does the MSD window switch need to be "calibrated" to work on a c-5 ? a local shop is telling me they have to send it to MSD to get it "callibrated before it will work, another shop who installs a lot of these on c-5s and f-bodys says no, what gives ? :confused:

Nope, just snip the two loops, install the pills you want, hook it to the PCM, and you're ready to rock!

No the MSD does not have to be calibrated. Use it in 4 cyl mode. Reasoning behind it is that the white wire on the ECU controls 4 cyls. Unlike the mustang that had 8 ECU wires (one for every Cyl), we only have 2 ( one for each side). If you have any more questions feel free to email me..

Cut both wires as 4 cylinder. Hook tac wire to pin #10 white wire on your PCM.
