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.

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).
