Default MSD not all that reliable?

Hi,
3 cobras going north out of Reno in the middle of nowhere...…….
the leader Fred's cobra backfires and dies, coasts to a stop on 2 lane road
I pull out my meter and check things. 3rd cobra goes back to Reno 45 miles to summit racing and gets another msd box while Fred and I take out his existing box, no small feat at side of road. 3 hours later back on the road. His msd probably died from the heat in his engine bay. I also ran an msd but it was mounted in the passenger foot box and never had a problem with it. Just one story of the 55,000 miles I put on my 1st cobra
Perry.
