I think some of the bad rap MSD has been getting is from frustrated old schoolers, like me, getting reacquainted with the shady tree mechanics we were used to from the 60's not having really wrenched on anything much since then. Let alone a high performance engine which has double the HP of anything we ever worked on before. I have to admit, I was used to points, rub block grease, internal condensors and the like. The electronics are a whole new ball game. And now that I've figured most of it out, it seems a little simpler and less complex than the old school stuff ( I have no clue what goes on in the 6AL box and don't want to know).
I kept the MSD because it's what was on the engine when I bought it, and I had heard a lot of good things about it as well as the poorer remarks. After having replaced the major components, most of which more than likely didn't need replacement due to my learning curve, I've finally got 98% of it figured out, and the car starts great every time. I think I'll keep the system for now.
