[TPR] MSD 8972 Multi Spark Retard

[Steven Donegan]

I didn't mean me with the 'serious racers' remark - look at pretty much any drag racer or nascar that uses MSD and you will see what I mean. And my last failure was of a new box driven maybe 1000 miles and then parked for 5 years - ded as hell when I tried to start it... Given I do electronics as a hobby and I opened the one that failed I can say that while they work well they are really junk. My opinion of course. No flames need be sent my way :-)

I used MSD boxes since 1985 with only one failure and that was around 1990 in SF while I was in the garage!
STOP saying "serious racers"...your starting to sound like Jack ;-)

Something MSD built that lasted 20 years? Freaking amazing - there are reasons why serious racers put two of their ignition systems in parallel with a switch...

Dear TPR,
 
             I have a twenty odd year old MSD 8972 Multi Spark Retard obtained from a Pantera friend.  It was working when last used years ago.  I do not need it.  Does anyone need one??    Let me know.
