Default MSD boxes are junk
The smartest thing I did yet with my new Superformance 351W based stroker was wiring my MSD distributor (Pro Billet, Small Diameter, Magnetic Trigger) directly into the existing (and Superformance factory stock) Ford DuraSpark ignition module situated in the passenger footwell, underneath the glove box area. Since it’s a normal Ford factory part installed literally on 100’s of thousands of Fords I don’t carry any spares with me. The wiring took all of 5 minutes to orchestrate.

I intentionally avoided using the MSD box with my distributor because of the reputation they have for high failure rates and myriad problems.
