Some guys get lucky is the only answer. NASCAR uses MSD regularly and weight-conscious crew chiefs normally install TWO of everything, with a selector switch, so a driver can finish the event when (not IF) the first box, distributor or coil fails. And race-MSD stuff is 10X the cost of the over-the-counter prices at Summit or Jegs. Count your blessings.
