How many are using factory points to trigger MSD? It eliminates almost all the burning of the points, because the only current is being used to trigger the ignition module.

I have a mallory unilite with optical pickup to drive my MSD.
The signal from that is a nice clean +12VDC square wave. My datalogger can read it directly for RPM while trying that with points will get you a fried microprocessor. |
