We also ran the Capacitor on the NASCAR stuff , but it was to prevent the back EMF from the box from damaging Alternators .
The Back EMF would randomly shut the voltage regulator down , the battery would run dead during a race . It would reset completely if you cycled
the battery cut off switch and charge like hell. Took a while to figure that out!

I was watching one of those rat rod reality shows and 1/2 hour in the engine dies. Sure enough the MSD box crapped out.

Run an MSD 8222 capacitor. Brad Smith idea, voltage spikes kill boxes, especially the newer ones for some reason.

I have a Daytona Sensors™ CD-1™ Kit, Part #102003 new in the box I don't need, has all paperwork, software disc and all computer cables for tuning. Hard parts list below;
Part #102001 ​CD-1™ Ignition Module (with Wiring Harness)
Part #102002 Ignition Coil

Part #115012 ​2 Bar MAP Sensor (for supercharged applications).

still have this ?
