Speaking from personal experience, many years ago, I had an ignition problem and thought it was the new MSD box. Turned out the coil in my Corvette distributor went bad just laying on the bench. The problem had everybody stumped, until their Tech suggested using a points triggered distributor and doing an A-B-A test, problem solved. A friend had a problem that was related to his alternator, they repaired his ignition box and diagnoised the alternator problem, just looking at the box. Needless to say we are more than happy with their Tech service. As a Tech person myself, (not with MSD), it is sometimes difficult to diagnois a problem over the phone and some questions might require divulging propiotary information. Just my two cents on the subject.
