Over the years I have heard some good things about MSD ignitions (such as the 6AL)... Anyway, I have been looking around for reviews, and I have heard some bad things about them lately. Several people commented that their products are made in China... bla bla bla

Anyway, anyone running an aftermarket ignition? Ive been reading about the Summit ignitions, but the only reviews I can find are on summit. :laughing:

I already have a MSD coil (no problems), but its time to do a tune up again, and i was looking for some info on a ignition system. Mostly im wondering about the MSDs, Cranes, and Summits. Personally, I still think the MSD stuff is good, just looking for anyone who wants to talk me out of it, or towards a better product. Btw, its for my 4.9L.


Anyone?

sounds good to me. thats about what ive been reading - smoother idle, and thats about it. Ive just never actually met someone who is running one.

Unless you have a race motor that can make benefit of some of the more advanced features, I'd say skip it. Some of my MSD boxes have lasted years, some only a handfull of months. They are pretty sensitive to electrical spikes, and the best way to run one these days is with what is in essence a surge protector between the the box and the power. Msd makes one I know, and summit sells them.

Agreed. I think im starting to try to "pull power out of my ass" for my 6 cylinder. :flipoff2: Ill try to hold back next time.

thanks for the replies. :homer:
