Wow, all kinds of polarized opinions here...lol. Because I'm in and out of FABO now (job change), a few observations: I've run roughly 30-40 dirfferent stock type Chrysler distributors. I've never experienced issues with reluctors out of phase, or timing fluctuations traced back to the advance plate. I do weld my own, and the $20 I stated for curving yourself is for a muffler shop to mig the hole smaller. I've had to have that done twice because my welder was either not bought yet, or on loan to a friend at the time. The reason I choose MSD is simple. It's easy to get parts, it's easy to see on charts what changes do what, and I can set them without ever having to wrench on the car. even by phone if the customer is savvy and has a couple wrenches. The factory distributors do wear out the bushings on the shaft. MSD billets dont. ever. I've bought 6 or seven, all are still in daily service. Mulitispark is usefull if the idle time and low speed operation mean anything to the owner. I agree, after the multispark goes out at 3K, they are no better than a stock type system that is set up properly. But idle quality and milage ARE important to me and my customers (street cars that race). As far as quality...I can tell you factory parts have left me stranded 3 times. But I still use them. "Junk" to me in any brand means the same issues repeat. I dont use Accell anything for that reason. Or Fram filters. Mopar ignitions have been known since 1971 for popping modules, and from the 60s for popping ballasts. Yet they are used constantly even by me. I've also been stranded by a Jacobs Energy Team. But, I still consider that to be the best part in terms of street ignitions. It's multispark, but it also extends and amplifies the single spark at high rpms unlike MSD. It's up to what you have to spend, and what you need it to do. The majority of street cars will benefit from MSD or similar technology. I've never run a Crane digital, or any Mallry controls. Although I did run a Unilite on my truck for 8 years. Now it's sitting on the core engine. So really, if you are "in the know" not too much is terrible. It's just a question of what is each worth to you, and what do you have to spend.
