asked on a few forums, and there is always someone who says "get a mallory instead of a MSD"

a GOOGLE will turn up a few instances of MSD's getting wet from rain and not working again.

i have a fiberglass pin on hood, and it will probably stay off alot, and i will probably wash the engine bay alot to keep it clean.

i am thinking the failures are 1% of the users, and every time one fails, at $250 a pop, that person jumps on the 'net to whine, which is normal.


i already have a MSD Pro Billet 8570 distributor, was planning on a MSD 6421 to give launch control (2 stage Rev control)

 

Doesn't seem like any responses here in "Fuel & Ignition". Let's move this to General F-Body Tech.

Personally, after 15 years of owning my 94, I have never "wash(ed) the engine bay".... and its still spotless. Water and electronics don't get along very well.

 

MSD's magnet trigger wheel is prone to having corrosion issues. I had a Pro-Billet on a BBC that I did and after a few years of just normal usage and outside storage during the winter the trigger wheel was badly corroded with lots of rust on it.
