Watch out at the swap meets/ebay...

 

wow, that's crazy.
scary to think of how many people have one in their car...

 

guess i will check mine in the morning

 

A few years ago I recall hearing about some cheap "Pro Comp" branded 6AL copies floating around out there.

I think there was an MSD lawsuit regarding them.

I wonder if these fakes are just re-branded Pro Comps?

 

It's not like the 6A or 6AL are anything special. It's a huge housing that only has an ignition module inside that can fit inside a distributor.

Take one apart some day and have a look inside.

 

The 6A(L)s have a complete printed circuit inside, a full board. What you are talking about is the procomp junk, sold as a CD multispark box which it is NOT

 

That could be what I originally saw. I don't even run an MSD ignition. I still run Holley Annihilator ignition. Just snagged a 800-300 a little while ago but haven't swapped out the 800-200 yet. Holley doesn't make these any more and they're still a great bang for the buck if you can find one.

If I ever go to an MSD, a digital 7 would be the minimum I would use.

 

The digital 7s are not bullet proof either, I have had one fail (had 3) almost immediately after startup. They did send a new one (had to pay shipping)
