hey fellas, when i installed the MSD box w/ MSD coil, i noticed that my car ran a bit smoother and revved up pretty nice. i really liked it...

it ran great for about a month, at which point it started frying my ignition module under the distritbutor cap. i replaced the thing twice, then removed the MSD. since then i've fried another resulting in replacing wires and coil back to stock.

so far, my car has been running great, but i noticed that alot of people here run theres without any issues. am i doing something wrong, is there an MSD dist. shaft with cap and rotor out that i wasnt aware of?

any help thanks...

i had no problems.. Do you have a stock coil?? i got the MSD coil to go with it just to make sure i had no probs.

 

Did you remember to put a fresh coat of the silicone grease under the modules when installed them? If not, then that would be the reason, if you did then I dunno.

Yeah lets push this one to the top. Is there a special cap and rotor from summit that we have to order???

 

I use a borg warner cap and rotor with my accel box.. I now use crane fire wire wires, MSD coil and stock plugs gaped just a hiar larger a hair..
