I prefer mallory stuff over msd....have heard and seen way too many msd failures on my friends stuff, especially in more recent years, seems like product/ quality control is going to the shits over there.
I run a mallory hyfire 685 box and couldnt be happier...been dead nuts reliable, and my car saw 4000 street miles this past year...for the price and the features on it, it just cant be beat...so much so that 2 friends are upgrading their ignitions to the same box. I also run accel super wires and an MSD blaster II coil (mainly because i got a great deal on it)...I want to get new wires for it though this year
You are correct about the MSD failures but in an all out race engine it's hard to argue with the results you get from a MSD7. I personaly use Mopar Electronic moduals on all my Musclecars of late, I have 3 differant 1's to choose from, the mondane Orange box for just over stock to 6000rpm, The Chrome box for hot street/Stripp cars to 8000rpm & the Super Gold for strickly track opperated to 10,000rpm capabillities not that I can spin it that high it just has a good spark to that point. But when building a racer I use MSD stuff, it's just what I am use to. I have herd nothing but good about the New Mallory stuff. Budnicks
