Last week the car was acting funny. So I started poking around and found that my MSD cap and rotor were buggered. These parts were only 6 months old. It looks like the graphite rod fell apart and started arcing all over once it was too short. Hopefully it's just a case of random failures. I went and bought another MSD set and we'll see how it goes.   ------------- You dream it up....I'll make it |

Yup, I was pissed because it failed way too soon, but happy it was
an easy fix. Didn't even get dirty. DG ------------- You dream it up....I'll make it |

Peculiar, I have MSD's everything but my 'Stang and my mother's Jeep, and I've always had perfect success with them. I guess there's bound to be faulty ones though.  ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |
