MSD yay or nay

When MSD bought Mallory they literally junked thousands of dollars of products.

They then picked what they thought were the best sellers, like the Unilite and went right on and fucked it all up. Like MSD always does.

Then they raised the prices for that junk and anything they happened to not screw up (like Mallory fuel pumps and regulators) so they can continue to sell the Holley garbage they bought up.

That box is just an MSD box with a Mallory sticker and some black paint.

Thanks for the explanation. I actually called Holley's tech line earlier today (I'm a glutton for punishment) and asked what the difference was between those two boxes. The first guy I talked to said "you get what you pay for," implying that the MSD box was far superior, but he couldn't explain any actual differences in the two boxes. When I mentioned that at their regular prices, both boxes are priced almost identically, rendering his answer invalid, he didn't know what to say except, "the MSD box is better."

Not satisfied with that bonehead, I called and spoke to an older guy who seemed to actually know some stuff. He said that the MSD box is "made with better internal components, but would perform identically to the #695 Mallory." Hmm... Sounds like they're the same to me.
