Bad MSD box?
For those of you that have had a MSD box go bad, Just send back to MSD for a rebuild. They charge about 1/3 the price of new or less.
I just got mine back, totally different and new box.
Just a pleasant FYI for those of you that didn't already know.

Yes they are good about that we send alot back yearly and they
replace 99% of the boxes as the epoxy kills trying to repair thrm
and they can replace it easrier and faster and cheaper !!
I've been usising their stuff 25 years or so and don't throw away any of their products return them ,the dist with corrosion or anything its cheap ,cheap

Bad MSD Boxes?? When I called them a year ago they told me they don't have bad boxes, & it must be another problem. Funny how I just bought a replaced box & gained 1600rpms. Hopefully I still have it & can send it back so I will have a spare.

turbo...i've had the same experience...
brand new msd box took a crap after 2 hours of running and I sent it back to them. they said they bench tested it and it was fine and sent it back to me. hooked it up and she no work. hooked up the msd box from the other engine and she fired right up...
sent it back again and they did the same thing...bench test, send it back to me and she still no work. they absolutely suck when it comes to tech/customer support...
i'll never buy another msd product.

If one has an MSD box that has had it's connector clipped off and wants to re-connect to the engine (my friend's 7.4 Vovo-Penta), where could one find the wiring diagram to ensure proper connection?
