Silly question but... change timing after swtiching ECU?

MSDs are expensive and many want the stock appearance. Besides there are plenty of posts about MSDs going bad .

I run a Mopar ignition on my Barracuda and it works just fine .
I run a Daytona Sensors CD-1 on the 408 in my 69 Swinger because I like the 3 step rev limiter and programmable advance curves.
Exactly. Everybody at the strip uses MSD and everyone has at least 1 spare in their trailer. They are always announcing if anyone has a spare 6AL*** box over the loudspeaker. There's a much higher failure rate for the MSD boxes than the old ECU's. The problem is the latest ECU's are cheap Chinese copies and nothing like the originals.
