No more crap I will use Pertronix or even points until I can't get them any more and I keep a Chrysler electronic set up ready to go again if need be just carry dist in trunk In the last 10 years I have not more then I can say for the MSD and Mopar electronic Ignition. If you race and want all the toy's and like to try to find misses that appear and leave the MSD is way to go Well, this is, as we say in my business, "Fit for purpose". I'm not looking to get as many 10ths as possible. I got her running last night and she runs great. Every ignition system under the Sun has disappointed someone at some time or another. I did notice, that at cold temperatures when I first fire her up last night, the 440 runs smoother... I will hook up the factory tach to the gray wire lead that's part of the new MSD and we'll see what happens.... I have the recommended tach adapter as well...

MSD ignitions need a very good ground and don't try to start the car if the battery is weak...they hate low voltage.
