  Seems everyone is running MSD ignition, I had a chance at one cheap so I bought it, it is brand new. Everyone telling me that it's an easy bolt on addition to horsepower. I just cant see how???  The Allis guys I pull with love theirs, they say you can turn the fuel to it now, and gap the plugs to .050. Is it worth the trouble? I could make some $ off of it I bet...

I have been using msd ignition for years and would use nothing else, they don't just fire the plug one time, it fires like 20 degrees of crank rototion for better fuel burn and when using the msd coil you get better spark.

i like them but feel it takes a larger distributor cap like a hei to really get all the benefits . Ran into problems when tried a msd 7 al box and pro coil on stock dizzy.jmho
