Turns out that them MSD requires a certain rpm to trigger the signal. A mini starter just doesn't turn fast enough . It worked fine with standard ignitions, just not my Digital 6.

I was very interested in the sale but I would have the same problem as I also have the MSD6.
Did you end up using the POWERMASTER starter?
Thanks, Ralph

Long story short, the typical pickup that the MSD digital 6 uses requires that the engine turn faster than the mini-starter would turn it. I'm now using a starndard, off the shelf powermaster, and haven't had a problem since. I don't know, but I suspect that any MSD that is using the same sensor (within the dizzy), would have the same problem. If you are using a different pickup, you may be OK.

Absolutely, you need THIS starter....Actually, if your headers are anything like stock, you would be just fine with a normal starter. I was going to use it because of it's light weight, that's all.

Yep, still for sale.
Any takers at $165? If not, I may keep it, I just happen to have another big block sitting in my garage.
