I think he is refering to is a diode that is sometimes installed in the charging circuit. In some installations there is enough current that continues to backfeed into the ignition system while the alternator is still spinning after the key is switched off. The MSD box takes very little current to trigger it consequently it continues to run with the key in the off position.


This should help
