Ghost,

take a look at Daytona Sensors. I plan to experiment with them for my next buildup.

I'll check them out. I'm basically ready to assemble my engine, only thing left to figure out is ignition. Locked distributor, timing curve, spark retard ??? almost too much info on the web...........

I looked at the daytona sensor CD-1 ignition. I like it and it comes with a matching coil. It seems more capable and not too much more money, $50 or so. The thing that bothers me about the msd is the reviews, half the people love them, the other half call them junk. That the internet for ya I guess....

A note about Daytona Sensor products. The company was formed by former Crane employees from the days when Crane was in the ignition business.

FWIW: I've sold and used thousands of MSD distributors. Not a single problem. Internals will rust if your in a humid climate. A person I know had a weird problem, found out the two plug wires were switched. Ran.....not well until he fixed that. Be on the look out.

The bad reviews I saw were on the ignition boxes. I'll be buying an MSD distributor and the Daytona sensors CD-1

Not surprised at the reviews for the boxes, the new digital boxes are made (where else?) in China, distributors are still made here.

A racer at our track somehow did that recently....not sure how, but they did.

I've had a brand new, from Jegs, MSD crank trigger extension cable wired backwards. Called MSD and sent photo. They said, "never seen that before" and told me to swap the wires. I wonder if that is the first response they are taught in tech school........

You must be very careful when buying MSD stuff nowadays! There are quite a few Chinese knock offs being sold as the real thing on the interwebs! They are junk! Buy direct or from a reputable dealer. Posting for a friend who found out the hard way. Jim
