Repairs?
I was wondering if any of you knew anyone or any business that does repairs on MSD boxs?
My MSD box doesnt let the motor rev smoothly above 3k rpm and I put a duraspark on it.
Im building a racecar and i want to use the box.
I was wondering if MSD did it, or any business's online or whatever
I already emailed MSD about it, but no answer back yet

I am sure MSD will fix or replace it. I have an article "some place" where a guy opened one up and made a schematic for it. I think I posted the link in the electrical forum. Were you using the Durospark to trigger it?

No, I got the truck and it had points
I put a duraspark on the truck (dizzy, box, etc)
I got the box used from a guy afterwards
My buddy hooked it up to his 351W in his 66 as a stand alone box. It seemed to run great until we reved it up
We checked everything.
Replaced coil, wires, checked carb, and nothing
Same thing
If you find the diagram let me know. I dont really want to try it myself, but what could it hurt. lol
Its an older 6T model or something
The part number is 540
If its gonna cost more than about 70 bucks, I'll tell em to keep it.

If you do a search on www.google.com for "MSD ignition repair" it looks like there are a few places that fix them.

Right now I have the 66 F-100
IT's not full blown race car but Im gonna run it in street class Bracket race and try to win.
Its a 390 .30 over
Crane 901 Cam
4 barrel Manifold with 750 Holley Carb
Electronic Ignition
Full lenght Headers 1 7/8 primaries, 3 inch collectors
2 1/2 inch dual exhaust into 40 series Flowmasters with 3 inch dumps
9'' Rear with minispool and 3.70 Gears
We have 3 race cars already.
84 Mustang, 73 Maverick, and a Fairmount (Forgot year)
They are full blown race cars.
Im going to either build a mustang, or a pinto/bobcat
I do know where a Vega is that has already been completed
IT has a 350 chevy motor, 9'' rearend. Its been tubbed and everything.
The guy would basically give it to me since he cant race anymore.
Id run it with the 350 until I get a motor build and then paint it ford Blue and race the mess out of it.
Anyways, sorry for the long post.
