With MSD just make sure you have a spare with you.

I've had more problems with MSD shit. Went through 4 6al boxes in my Stang and the LS1 MSD coils are complete garbage.

Yeah I hear ya. Last year it shoulda been out if I had the money. Hell I didnt even have the money for a thermostat gasket over the summer, thats how broke I was. The main reason the car didnt go anywhere is because there was no brakes, wasnt making enough vacuum. Now Thats been fixed as well.

Thats why you have a check valve on the brake booster line.On decel it will hit 18-20 inches of vacuum.Some of our cars have idled at 4 inches of vacuum,brakes work fine.

Well the car had no brakes before I put the canister in and now that its in the brakes works great so I dunno.

I can't get my Berlinetta to make more than 8 pounds of vacuum at idle. It's always caused me more grief runnig rich as a result of the low pressure than it has over the brakes. Guess I just gotten used to them !

P.S. Nice score on the Digital Ignition !
