Review: WOW IT WORKS REALLY WELL - I put this MSD ignition box on my 1993 f-150 short wheel base cingle cab truck with a 1988 5.0 H.O. Mustang GT motor , gasket matched port and polished stock e7 heads and the truck intake, 'wich is almost twice the size of the gt' , 2 1/2 inch duel exhaust with flowmasters, no H pipe yet ,stock gt shorty headers and the part of the the smog pump that flows fresh air into the heads hooked up , have the MSD Super Conductor wires , rotor cap and the MSD Blaster coil . Right now im running Bosch Super Copper plugs and have opened the gap to .o65in adjusted the timing a little and im getting a consistant 3 to 4 miles a gallon ,'on the hiway' better than before without the ignition box and it smoothed out the rough cold starts in the mornings too. This is a great product for my weak stock ford ignition really tied it all together . It really made the gas peddle stiffen up and much more responsive and now i have to relearn how much peddle to give it when the light turns green , i try to baby the tires , but now i keep wanting to goose it a little to feel that power i was missing . People who cant tell a difference need to make sure they have the right plug wires and a properly functioning coil , good spark plugs and the correct setting on your timing, if not the the spark cant get to the plugs ,it grounds out somewhere along the line , you can see this by turning out all the lights around you and waiting for your eyes to adjust and if your plug wires are old or the wrong ones then you will see a fire works show. This is my first after market ignition box, never needed one before the newer cars and trucks have much better stock ignitions now than in 1993. Hope this was helpfull.
Review: Working perfectly in my boat for 8 years now - I added this to my 1989 Mercruiser Alpha One 130HP engine in 2017. It immediately cured a hard starting problem and eliminated maintenance on my distributor ignition points, which now only need a yearly gap check and a bit of lube. This unit delivers a fierce spark to the plugs using the stock coil. It gives 3 sparks per cylinder instead of one. My engine is old and some oil gets past the rings onto the plugs. This used to cause mis-fires. Not any more. The engine starts immediately and purrs like a contented cat.

### ⭐ Don't buy doesn't last, wast of money
*by T***C on June 30, 2025*

Complete trash. Shame on msd for putting their name on such a piece of junk. It worked good for starting in the driveway for 2 days, first trip out it worked fine on my second trip it shut off and won't power back up. Totally left me stranded and only has a 30 day warranty. I bought it 3 mouths ago just got my project far enough to test drive, now I'm in search of a new ignition. Very disappointed and want a waste of money. Never again
