Sorry the box is the

WAIT !!!! are you SURE ???? by god i have NEVER heard of an MSD box going bad...

this is shocking news.

alert the media.

msd ought to sell those things in pairs. one to get you halfway there and the second one to get you back home...

need more info ..... what motor ...Distributor .....coil ... you say the box is new? It never worked ? Or stopped? ...details .....m

hers some pics of the motor

what Distributor part #? and coil? good news is that box if brand new should be under warranty ...bad news is those boxes cannot be repaired ....

It's entirely possible that the new box is JUNK as hard as that may seem to believe. A few years ago my msd 6 box got dropped from about 5 feet onto concrete,it was 6 or 7 years old and still worked flawlessly up until this happened. I decided to upgrade to the marine box,the same one you have. The first one I ordered would only rev so hi even though the chip was much higher (it also did it with chip removed),would occasionally quit t of the blue. I sent it back andgot another,it was WORSE,had weird intermittent problems. I called Msd countless times,they kept blaming MY install. I rewired it and it made ZERO diffference. I then ordered a 3rd box AND a msd tester. Guess what,I immediately took the 3rd box out of it's packaging and hooked the tester to it,it was JUNK right out of the box (it would spark a few times if you had tester on it and wiggled the input wires alot!!! Disgusted,I sent everthing back and installed a crane hi box,it has been trouble free so far,Smitty

Sad, but this seems to be all too common. It seems that the MSD quality has really had a decline in recent years.
