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
