Naaahhh, on the older MSD units unless you have the separate "adjustable" gizmo like mine, then you have to pull the chip, which is a nuisance, and then the guy's going to rev it to 8000 and send a rod through the side of the block. I say you're better off just not selling it and then you don't have to deal with the whole problem.
