- does not have a seperate MSD box, its all integrated into the distributor.
- issues started with intermittent high RPM popping a few weeks back.
- plugs look tan, but he needs to check them again later.
- proceeded to intermittent start issues. Some days it would not start.
- no spark now, won't start at all now.
Anyone else having similiar type issues with one of these ready to run units?

I have 2 pro-billet distributors, and although not a "ready-to-run" version, I had similar problems after 1 year. Turned out to be corrosion inside the cap, between the rotor and contacts in the cap. I drilled the vent holes since, but haven't checked it lately.
I'll but Mallory next, both distributor and ignition system. No more MSD for me.
