That advise was after waiting 35 minutes on hold on the tech line.
Thanks again Jim. The toggle switch comes out tomorrow.

Does MSD manufacture in China?
Thanks

In America...almost all in El Paso, TX.

I had a new MSD coil tagged made in China, shocked to say the least.

I have my two step wired like you do. One wire thru a toggle switch next to my shifter and connected to my brake lite switch, which is adjustable. I have hundreds of runs on it with no problem. The only way it could activate with the switch off is if the wire shorted to ground before your toggle switch.

Or a ground feed back activation.

Hello All.
Since my original post( last June), I changed the MSD box (Digital 7) and the intermittent 2 step problem went away.
I contacted MSD several times and they said the old box could not be repaired.
I left the on/off switch in place as I have become comfortable with it as part of my routine.

This question is for Mr .Parker, what kind of pressure switch are you talking about and where could one be purchased?, Thanks
