I agree it is an aggravating problem. But if you are only inconvenienced once a year or so, it doesn't seem to be a deal breaker for me. After all it doesn't take but a few minutes. But hey, I have my own pet peeves where maintenance is concerned on classic cars so I do understand where you are coming from....

I've had better reliability from MSD products than any other ignition system, so I'm inclined to stay with what is working well for me. I especially like the combination of the MSD Digital 6+ box and their non vacuum advance distributor #8579. I've put about 55,000 miles over a 11 year period on those components. I did change out the dist. cap when it was new to a black cap, and replaced that cap after after 6 years.
