... or, if the MSD Box is wired up with their recommended Noise Filter #8830, which is just a big-ass capacitor, and that capacitor has a case of "intermittent failitus," then you could conceive of circumstances where the capapcitor would periodically create a heavy draw condition, and then it would go away, then appear again for a little while, then go away and his amp gauge would show a big positive current flow while it was doing that. Now granted, that's a stretch, but possible....
