I'll admit that I have had MSD failures - fewer than with Mallory; yet, still use the product. I think one reason so many units fail is that they are wired by well intentioned home mechanics who know little about electrical wiring. OTOH, Assembly line cars have had the wiring designed and laid out by engineers and installed by professionals.

While MSD does provide instructions, I have witnessed some horrific wiring of these units. I thought this type of ham handed electrical wiring was limited to cars. However, I attended a member's aircraft fly-in event. He lives in one of those neighborhoods with a home adjacent to the runway. Way cool. To my amazement, there was plenty of bubba wiring in a couple of the planes that I saw. Wirenuts were employed for gods sake. I couldn't believe it. I guess if that is what you know.
