had the typhoon out the other day. took it to work to put inspection stickers on it.
got home went shut truck off went in garage came back out it wouldnt fire just crank.

checked all fuses the next day and decided i would start eliminating things one at a time so i just plugged stock coil in happened to be first item i tried and it worked.

is it worth having an upgraded coil or not the msd one was a few years old but prolly 15k or less miles on it

if it is better to have a nice coil on what are u guys running since i dont think im going to buy another msd doesnt seem worth it

Did you try starting it in the morning? My MSD coil doesn't like to start when it's hot. Putting stock distributor and coil back in when I put motor back In.

Re: MSD coil went bad

yea still wouldnt fire in the morning thats when i dug deeper and figured it wasnt getting spark so i tried the stock coil and it fired so i didnt need to try anything else after that

I've seen two new MSD coils die within 24 hours of fitting on customers cars (not SyTys) - I used to swear by their products but now if I get a car come in with a fault the first thing I look at is any MSD ignition in the equation....
