Many msd boxes have a start retard feature. I used my msd digital 6 box for five + years before I got the bright idea to try out the start retard . Wow. No more slow cranking a hot engine on summer days. It's amazing how fast the engine cranks when it's not fighting 12 + degrees BTDC of initial timing.
