...you should have a spare if you're running MSD. (May Soon Die)

Been there too many times with that junk, not a fan.

They only rebuild the automotive ones, not the marine ones. Due to the fact the marine ones are filled with epoxy.

The 6AL "N" and 6an are, but not the 6A or 6AL. The "N" is for nascar guys I think. Talked to MSD last week about this, as one of my marine ones took a crap. Says Im SOL. They will rebuild the 6A or 6AL ones he said.

"N" series potted with epoxy
