MSD 6al2 Box SHOCKED ME!!!

I had an MSD box+blaster coil smack me years ago while setting timing on my old truck. Flexed my entire upper body so hard+fast it threw me onto my a$$ away from the truck before I even knew what happened. Arms, shoulders and chest muscles all were sore for about a week! Maybe someone should market this? "Try MSD's Multiple Spark Muscle Ripper routine for a whole body workout in a split second!" Glad you're ok, the boxes and coils certainly can put out more juice than is considered "safe for human consumption".

I've never had a failure on anything MSD street/strip car oriented, boxes, coils, window switches etc. I have read in forums over the years about people having failures, and yea it happens. But considering the abuse and downright shoddy installs I've seen-and performed myself in my younger years:BangHead: -MSD has a better survival rate than most of the performance parts companies I've used. But maybe I've just been lucky with ignition stuff, and happen to hurt other parts instead? We occasionally killed some MSD stuff on the fuel funny car, but nitro just murders parts in general so I can't really fault the MSD parts there.

I'd highly recommend the Pertronix setup. Pertronix ignitor 1 or 2 drop-in+MSD box and blaster coil has been my go-to setup on street/strip cars for years, good strong spark and never had a failure. I throw the points in the glove box and wire the msd box so it's easily reverted back to stock ignition on the side of the road in a pinch. Never had to do so, murphy's law after all!

The all in one pertronix ignitor 3 setup looks intriguing but I haven't used it. I would expect it to be reliable given their track record with the ignitor 1+2 series stuff. Good luck, and let us know if you run one of the 3 series setups.
