I love the posters who think they can win an argument by calling someone crazy. You guys have it figured out - I have been lying all along about my MSD failures in order to cover up my involvement in the Kennedy/Oswald matter.

Now for the adults on this BB....

In a sense, MSD might well be the best aftermarket ignition by default - but that doesn't hold them above criticism.

If we use reliability as a main criteria, then just about any OEM offers a better product. I have never seen a contemporary GM, Ford or Mopar ignition fail to produce spark. True, they won't spin to 10,000RPM but that ability doesn't mean much of you can't get to the first 1,000RPM.

I'll also bet the ignition provided by a Motronics or FAST box is far better.

The truth is the automotive world begs cheapness. When you are selling a box for $500 you won't be able use the best of anything in it. If heavy industry used ignition boxes you'd see $15,000 boxes that never, ever failed.
