I personally believe that the whole MSD flap is more urban legend. They have done a lot in the way of quality control from their earlier days...that's probably when they experienced the most problems. I thought my unit went bad, too. Had MSD load test it and it was fine. Traced the real problem back to a bad (loose) ground wire. I run a 100% MSD solution...billet distributor, high vibration coil, wires, etc. Car starts and runs good. I believe most MSD issues are related to other electrical problems independent of MSD (as has been outlined on this thread quite a few times, i.e. bad ground, bad voltage regulator, etc.).
