Can anyone that's run an MSD ignition system to throw up some pictures of where you have mounted, routed, etc.

Thanks in advance!

I think they're ugly, I mount them inside the car under the dash.. :alan2cents:

I made a bracket for it and put it under the dash. I made a video of what I did.

Thanks Alan! 

Funny now after having the gauges rebuilt I don't need the tach adapter anymore.  Was able to find someone who needed it.

What legit non hyped advantage is there for MSD over factory electronic ?


Chryco Psycho

I have witness virtually zero advantage , below 2500 they will fire the plug more than once which May help starting but in the power band they are the same as any other ign system firing Only 1 time .
I have not found them to be more reliable than the Mopar ECU system either & why is the box so big if Pertronics can do the same inside the dist ?
I usually off the challenge of making sure the existing ign system is in Top condition Before swapping the MSD to compare the real difference rather than swapping in the MSD when the existing system has not been serviced with new plugs wires rotor etc but very few people will do that .

Oh its rough trust me....more of a 10 footer which will have to do now.  Focusing on the mechanicals and doing upgraded when I can.

In regards to the ignition I chose MSD as I didn't want to use the factory system and in my opinion MSD would be the easiest to source (other than stock) if I was ever out on a road trip.  Everyone has their opinions obviously.
