my problems

well, took my car to the shop, as you might have read after i installed the MSD-6AL the car started acting more stupid than it normally does, and started dying. Well i took the car to the mechanics, after having absolutely no clue as to what it is, got a phone call today saying that it's the fuel pump, least the MSD didn't screw something up. So they'll have the car back to me tonight, and hopefully everything will run 10 x better than it did before.

Wow, at least you didn't get stranded somewhere. I remember, after replacing both of my dead fuel pumps, the car had so much more guts to it! I always wonder how long I was running on reduced fuel pressure...
