MSD 85551 vs MSD 8560
I currently have the MSD 85551 distributor on my engine application and I wanted to know if you guys would replace it with the marine 8560 - If so, why?
I'm asking because I want to see if it worth the money replacing...

Same components inside, different connector, the 8560 is somewhat weather tight and has a weatherpack connector.
Not worth spending the bucks.

MSD Dist
I appreciate the feedback - I just thought there would be some long term effects once I go back and forth from salt to fresh water. I didn't think I would loose any performance, I was just worried about vibration and moisture ruining the components - I'll keep it the was it is until I have to replace them - thanks again,
