I also run DUI's unless you are supercharging or running crazy RPM's, I honestly don't get the need for fancy boxes and such. A stand alone distributor is all you need. I think they are pretty trick little pieces. The post above is the first problem I've heard with them, that is an unfortunate case I'd guess and a real bummer! I originally put an MSD on it that promptly died, though I've always had good luck with MSD's on my performance cars.

I've got a MSD box that is going out and was told that if I plan to run MSD I should always carry a spare because they ALWAYS go out. Marine box or not they can't handle boating. He suggested that I just go back to the original merc. distr. set-up. Im running a 502 and gonna put a blower, probably a 10-71with just 8psi boost, on it. Nothing crazy but I want plenty of room for power improvements later. I was wondering what most of you run?

Anybody tried the new Mallory Firestorm yet? My MSD 6M went and replaced it with another 6M, I'm just a little nervous about it's reliability. I was using the MSD start retard box with the 6M, the motor didn't run for crap sent them both back to MSD and they said they were both fine. Makes me question MSD even more.

My friend runs them he has goo luck, but I am pretty sure they have been sold to someone , the unsecured shaft was un excusable they gave me a new shaft but when I took the motor apart at seasons end 3 pistons had melted edges from detonation, the other motor with another DUI was fine.

Got sick of burnt up MSD marine boxes, so was my buddy. We both made the switch to the Crane CD digital boxes. Summit sells them for 249.99, but amazon has them for 175.00 shipped. So far so good. Both of us running 800HP blower engines in our boats. Wiring it in when switching from the MSD box is pretty easy. We are running them with MSD billet distributors, and locked timing.
Take a look at the internals on the MSD, and the Crane. These are the boxes we are running. http://www.amazon.com/Crane-Cams-600...ords=6000-6440 |

The Daytona Sensor Marine, box is the way to go! The marine unit comes with a coil and you can either use a dial in curve or get the usb cable and program your own.
