Guys,

My MSD 6AL BOX has about 11,500 miles on it over 4 years, works great.

It is under the dashboard, pretty much in the open for ventilation in a Cobra roadster, but out of site.

The MSD DISTRIBUTOR is a P.O.S...it works, in spite of massive corrosion on the magnetic pickup and the reluctor? wheel.

The ORIGINAL MSD cap had aluminum terminals and was also totally corroded at about 6000 miles, two+ years of use...

OK, the BOX works great...keeping it relatively cool has to help...I sure would not mount it next to a header tube, and would avoid under the hood installations.

The distributor seems to work in spite of being a corroded mess inside.

When you replace the cheap-o cap MSD provides to a new customer, get a cap that has brass terminals.

Someone did a thread on caps here a few months ago and NAPA? Echlin? have higher quality replacements available.
