Dependable Ignition Upgrade for my Ride!

This distributor is a top-notch upgrade for any Automotive enthusiast. According to my experience, it has improved the performance and acceleration of my engine, making it worth every penny. The installation was easy and straightforward, even for a DIY mechanic like myself. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey compared to other options on the market, but you truly get what you pay for. Overall, highly recommended for those looking for a reliable and high-quality ignition upgrade.

Pros
  • Improved engine performance and easy installation.
Cons
  • A bit pricey compared to other options.

Run for 10 minutes then died

Installed 5.0 on my project. Looks great, appears to be good quality. Well, he worked for about 10 minutes and died. I installed a new ignition at the same time so I spent hours troubleshooting. I put my old distributor back in and booted it up. Went back to MSD and died again, went back to the old bike and worked fine. It seems that MSD TFI died within 10 minutes after installation. I had to buy a new TFI motorcraft for over $100 to replace the MSD TFI junk dealer.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • not reliable

Distributor installed (8/15) and car started immediately, ran perfectly. Then it died, wouldn't start

Well finally I assembled the engine, installed the distributor (8/15) and the car started right away, drove perfectly. Then died, will not restart. Then it started normally and drove on. Came home, parked the car, later went outside to exercise, no spark. After checking everything to make sure all connections are correct, I check the TFI module on the distributor. He's dead. After doing some research this seems to be a common complaint against them so I've contacted MSD and we'll see what they…

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • weak
