MSD Bites the dust again!
I am on my second MSD box now and after a week of trouble shooting, the box is bad. I thought, now way the box is bad, it is only about 3 weeks old (the previous one lasted a little less than a year). Are these Boxes worth the $$$? Are they always this unreliable? I have the 6AL

15 years?? 
and I thought that they were "hi-tech"
Supposedly MSD have changed electronics in those boxes as years went by, right?

I don't know, as long as the new one is working I don't feel like opening it up to compare.
