i did a tune up last week on my ty and i saw that the cap was really burned up. i am having a problem making these caps last for more then a month or two. i have a MSD hooked up and i heard that will burn caps up fast but a month just seem far fetched ? any info about my problem would help.

I also notice increase wear on mine when I'd use both the coil & MSD 6A.

The Conard cap & rotor would last about 1 month, by just using the MSD 6A box with the stock coil I can run about 4 months & I can't tell the diff in performance of the truck.

As the other guys said. Your best bet is to go with the stock coil. It won't do any bad performance wise and your rotors will live a longer life...

try the brand (kem) they make a very heavy duty cap and rotor at a cheap price... ive sold both conrad and kem and kem is a far better product.

go to www.kemparts.com log in under the visitor area.. they have a dealer locater.. i have no affilaition with kem or conrad im a commercial manager with autozone.. and have run other commercial programs with other big companys as well and have seen quite a few lines of product come and go in my experience kem is a very good product..i assume you guys buy conrad because its decent quality at a cheap price? if so i highly recomend you give Kem a try the Build quality is much better and the prices are comprable. i just statred converting my 94 jimmy in a ty and have learned alot from you guys so i thought i would give you a little of my knowledge back..they also have an interchange on there site just plug in your part #
