With MSD you basically get a auto distrubutor with a flame arrester. No special parts, the merc distributors are very good. If I had not went with aftermarket timing control I would still be using it. I have been using the DUI for 2 full seasons and no corosion issues.

The coil is mounted in the center of the cap. They aren't bad, very simple. It's just the one you linked to from Jeg's is for a car. Not marine approved.
