Yes after 1,200 miles DEAD! Confirmed kill in pic below. same exact Ignition that kills Stock caps in 12-14k miles killed the MSD in 1,200

Current settings
MSD Cap and Rotor DOA
MSD Coil
16 year old(I kidd you not) MSD 6T with soft touch
NGK TR6 gapped to .040





EDIT

TO clear up what you are looking at. the black mark on the rotor is NOT supposed to be there. it is a carbon burn clean through the rotor. as dead short to ground when the ignition is trying to fire. The OPTI it self is fine and working great. LOTS of Spark going into the cap but not a damn thing coming out

 

could you get some pictures of the inside please?

 

I'd sure be calling MSD on that one.. [warranty is a year isn't it?]

 

Damn, I don't like that at all. Please keep us posted on what they find. I'm hoping that was some kind of manufacturing defect, because if MSD doesn't know how to make a distributor, then who does?

 

Closeup shots please.

 

just talking about cap and rotor kit, why MSD is diferent form SUMMIT brand or just a kit from Autozone?
I just install a Summit and work great i don't know how long time i have been with a damaged cap, but after change i nottice like a recovery of 50hp.

 

50hp?

 

That is about as close up as I could get. I will try again tonight. The Cap it self seems fine. early signs of carbon on the posts like a stock unit but they are brass so they are not melting.

I will be contacting MSD shortly

BTW I like how there are three Sales links for MSD across the bottom of the post here

 

I'M not saying that i gained hp, it's only that i havent noticed that i was not burning well the gas and i was loosing power with the opti in bad shape.

 

I just got off the Phone with MSD and they are being very helpfull as I expected.

 

That sucks. Looks like I'll be doing LTCC or Delteq as well then.

 

LTCC for the winnar!

 

Ya got some high resistance somewhere causing the spark to come back to the opti. Plug wires,plug gap,plugs. It doesn't matter if they are new.
When ya increase resistance it is harder to fire the plug and it lets the spark back up in the opti and do just what ya see. Spark will take the path of least resistance.

 

Hmm... never been a problem before?

I will measure them tonight and see

 

Be sure and keep us posted. I was really hoping these would be the cure
