NOT MSD! Made in China Fake

I received a white box with a MSD sticker on top of another sticker with a different part number. The sticker is made in China. This is NOT an MSD product!

Pros
  • Very fast delivery
Cons
  • Only available in white

Perfect fit and functionality at a great price

Perfect fit and functionality at a great price. This solved some of the intermittent misfires at high rpm on my K1500 pickup with the original 19 year old cap and rotor.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Negative impression

Looks good, good price

Great product. Perfect fit for 87 K10 350 TBI, saved me from stumbling/misfiring at idle. The old cover and rotor were badly oxidized. My rotor was white, not red, but it works well and cannot be seen with the cap on. Definitely looks great with red MSD. Will buy again if this ever wears out

Pros
  • Test for a year
Cons
  • I have nothing I don't like, everything is fine

Better than OEM.: Manifolds and Parts

Excellent replacement for OEM cap and rotor. This is made of high quality plastic and fits better on the stock distributor plate.

These have to have some things with them like other…

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Two strikes for MSD.

This is the second MSD cap and rotor I have bought. The first cover was torn, obviously I didn't open it. The second looked fine until I noticed that the center electrode in the cap (carries current from the ignition coil to the distributor) was broken in half. Both lids were in undamaged packaging, which leads me to believe that the defect came from the factory and not from shipping. This is nothing but Chinese junk sold and sold as spare parts. I have since bought a BWD cap and rotor. They…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
