Keith I just bought a brand new MSD pro billet for my car last week. Think it was 217 bucks, which I don't think is unfair or high priced at all. I have used them with zero issues for years and years. That's important to me. Lots of other stuff hasn't been out long term to have that extended track record over time.

If you buy online from them( you can still pick it up and pay for it in the store) they always have a 20 percent or 25 percent off code before checkout. I got my 150 dollar list MSD street fire box and autometer shift light from them with those discounts 69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.60 at 103.90 1/8

Dunnuck Racing master Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 3,300 Northern Indiana	That's what blows my mind. A ton of racers buy a more expensive distributor and lock it out anyway. So basically its a magnetic pick up and reluctor doing the work. A Firecore can do that for a lot less money, still has good bearings , etc in it. There are a few reasons I dont use MSD ignition in my builds. But thats a different subject. Keith www.dunnuckracing.com
