1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build
I bought an MSD box from a member here who claimed he gave me a working unit. One of the wires I needed was cut too short so I had to open the box up. Boy am I glad I did because the 90 amp diode was BLOWN! Someone trashed the box badly by either running it too long too hard or they did not have the right coil coupled with the box. I sent it off to get fixed but there were so many issues that I had to end up throwing it away. The member I bought it from blamed me and I called him out on it. I didn't even have a single wire in my stripped down car at the time to even hook the POS up. But finally after 4 months of going back and forth about it, I got my money refunded. So I'm not gonna name drop since he did finally give my money back. But that still left me with no MSD box. I ended up contacting Pat at Tech West Racing. He hooked me up with a used MSD 6ALN box and he added upgraded amplifiers and what not so this box is even hotter than it was from the factory. He also rewired it so that it wires same as a normal 6AL box (without weatherpack connectors). I still got the box and upgrade for less than a new 6AL box too! Woot! He comes highly recommended. He won't rebuild your box with cheapy stuff MSD will put in. He uses higher quality parts in his rebuilds and upgrades.
MSD box installed behind this block off plate
Mounting pad if you want to call it that
Firewall pass through for the coil
