Yeah, you would think that after 40 years whatever noise the old VRs put into the line would have been filtered out long ago by the MSD people. And FWIW, MSD says their boxes only use 1 amp per 1000 RPM, if anybody was curious about that since most of our installations do not have the MSD box being powered through the amp gauge (as per MSD's black-boxed warnings).
