On the crank trigger setup i ordered from SM, all the anodized aluminum parts look identical and appear same nice quality compared to the MSD. Magnets seem fine as well. The wires coming out of the pickup are black/white instead of green/violet and didn't come out of the box twisted. MSD says their pickup should be between 65-85 ohms, the SM pickup checked in at 72.6 ohms. So far very happy considering it cost $125.
Fitment on the engine was better than I expected. I had planned on modifying it, turns out I didn't need to. Came with four .250" spacers that I didn't use, i'm guessing it was designed around a 1/2" motorplate. My sprint car style motorplates are thinner, made a couple .200" thick spacers to perfectly center the pickup over the wheel just because I could.
