MSD 6A

[Eric Deslauriers]

I love my MSD6A and I hate every MSD coil I've bought. I went through 4
MSD coils in my 93 Suburban in under 7 months. The stock GM coil (with
230K miles) continues to survive just fine w/ & w/o the 6A. 

I've had the 6A over 2 years now and still like it.

I started carrying the stock coil in the back of the truck since I KNEW
the MSD coil would fail (and soon!). 

MSD is always real nice about replacing it - after I go to where the
truck is usually stuck with a no-start condition (always in the middle
of the weekday too), take out the MSD coil, put the stock coil in, call
them for an RMA#, put it in a box, take it to a shipping joint, pay
shipping. Then I get it back, take the stock one out, put the new MSD
one in... you get the picture.

I think 4 out of 4 makes a bold statement.

My $0.02
