Re: I'm having issues with my msd hei, anyone else too?

I have an MSD Pro Billet HEI and an MSD Digital 6AL in my smallie. It has the stock in cap MSD HEI coil. I've heard the coils are worthless. But this one has been flawless since I installed it 4 years ago. It sees RPM's of over 6,000 quite often and performs just fine.

I would ditch the crappy Accel coil and replace it with the MSD coil that came with the Pro Billet.

If my MSD HEI coil ever goes out... I'm going to use one of the HVC-2 coils.

The coil is the same coil I had on my older distributor it hasn't failed me so far and it's pretty damn old. Maybe to old but if it's the problem I will def be able to tell when I swap the cap and rotor on my other truck.
