Turn the key she starts, release the key she dies...

Oh...okay....that way when my orange box DOES go out...I'll know which to get.

the Old Orange boxes seem to be fine , the newer ones made in Mexico seem to be the juck ones

MSD does not run a ballast (probably some others too).

Well, when I installed my MSD-6 the directions included placing a ballast resistor.  The funny thing about my setup is that I now have TWO resistor's-the one on the firewall and one mounted close to the coil.  Are you guys saying that I can just...take these things out?  I'm wondering what that would or could do...

Really?  I have a 6AL and there is definitely no ballast in mine nor did the instructions indicate to use one.  Could it be an older version, I haven't had mine that long?

[Chryco Psycho]

you can eliminate 1 ballast for sure running 2 you may have 4-5 v at the coil

Maybe so, I got my 6AL back in, oh '95?  Ancient history for me.  Oh, and what's that about having only 4-5 volts at the coil with the two ballasts?!

I think CP is talking about when you have the dual ballast setup and you run one half of it with the MSD.  I think.

So how many volts are you supposed to have at the coil?
