Msd 6a
Just wondering if anyone has any recent experience with MSD 6A ignition controllers. I’ve used them on a couple of previous projects and liked the results. My experience has been with the older analog MSD units and I understand that the newer digital units have (had?) reliability issues, of course my information is a few years old and am hoping that the problems have been solved.
Just wondering if anyone has any comments about the MSD boxes.
.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

Mike,
I think the biggest problem was that the market got flooded with counterfeit MSD 6A units, and MSD got several units that were sent in complaining about performance. From what I recall the REAL 6A units were fine, but it was difficult to tell the difference. BangShift put out this article explaining how to tell - https://bangshift.com/general-news/s...ion-vs-a-fake/
I'm not sure if the counterfeits are still as big a problem or not, but I wouldn't by a bargain priced unit from EvilBay!!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
