(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I'm interested in buying a good or new old stock CD unit for my 914-6. I'm also thinking about a new MSD unit, which typically sells for a lot less. Anyone out there use an MSD ignition system in their car? Aside from the unit itself and the coil, what else will I need to do or buy?

In my opinion you can't really go wrong with OEM,MSD,or Mallory. I went with Mallory mainly because it is digital technology vs. analog of the MSD. And I found a good price on EBAY about a year ago so I bought two. I think you should always have two having one as a spare ready to go. So if you go aftermarket the second one should have the wiring ends ready to go so IF one goes bad you can quickly make the swap. May seem extreme but it will give you minimal down time if it goes bad. Multiple spark in theory will help with plug fouling if running carbs ( I am ) and you can open up the plug gap which supposedly helps with combustion. Which ever you pick as long as it's reliable life is good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
