MSD Ignition

I'm looking into getting my MSD igition pretty soon here and I had a sort of stupid question about it.

I will be getting the 6AL ignition (Part #6420) and I was wondering if it would hurt the ignition at all to put it on my 305 carbed motor for now. I ask this because in a couple of months my 383 stroker will be finished and I'll be swapping that in, and hopefully using the same MSD ignition. Is there anything besides normal wear that I should watch out for? Or should I just keep it on my shelf until my 383 is done?

Put it on now if you want. It won't make any difference.

Look for made in mexico stickers. If so send it back.

MSD has / had parts made in both places. So does most places.
But stuff from Mexico sucks compared to the made in USA stuff.

MSD only has 1-2 coils made in the US, rest are Mexico junk.
Same with summit n others, just got a coil for my external coil HEI mod and got a sum-G5215 as its the only one they have made in the US anymore.
Rest are mexico junk.
