thanks guys, I have a really strong ground to the engine block and there is at least one strap from the chasis to the block. The rev limiter theory sounds interesting, i know the box doesn't work without the chip/prong in there, and if they remove the rev limiter, then I will have the MSD 6 not the AL, so not sure what to expect from MSD tomorrow. Pretty pathetic though if this is just a string of defective units. Also, the box that I bought at ATV was so obviously already used, returned and repackaged, I say this because there was a paint chip on one of the corners that could have only happend through mishandling. Either way, I have a very unformfortable feeling toward MSD at this point. Also, a fixed unit doesn't sit well with me either since it was probably just a bad production run which might mean that other problems are very soon to follow.
