66StangGuy · 11-30-2002, 05:18 AM

i was looking for a new dis. for my stang..my old one is a piece. anyway i found a msd pro seriese distributor for my stang for 200 off summit. any ideas of better distributors or any deals going on?

anyone have an msd distritutor? how do you like it. was it worth the cost?

i was thinking msd because i already have the msd 6a box.

I have MSD. Good Dist. But, I run it with a Crane box.

I use all MSD products and love them. My car never ran so well until i went to a msd coil, wires, distrbuter and 6a box after that it was like i had a whole knew car. I will never buy anything but MSD iginiton products now.

Not exacly what your asking,, but my 2 cents. ..

When I put my 351w on the dyno with the good old duraspark, the operator, with about a million years experence, was laughing at the dam thing. But whens we tried a MSD box, we lost 10HP. Never was able to get that lost HP back. AND that was the whole crurve, nice and even, down 10HP. I'll run duraspark forever, I think.

Mind you my 351w is not a 700HP 7500RPM monster either. Just 430HP@6000.

Like my mallory Pro series. With a Jacbos box.

I've run MSD 6a box and Dis for some time and never had a problem. Except for frying a tach that is! I was given an autogague that said it would work with MSD without an adaptor but it got cooked. Can anyone reccommend a tach. I'm trying to go with a smaller one, dont want a big monster sitting up on the dash. Hey that Duraspark, surprising huh! Was the advance curve modified?

Nope, just a rebuild from the local parts store, I think it was 40 bucks.

Can't argue that point, can we?
