you mean a mallory CDI = (capacitive discharge ignition)
msd id a company.... and it also stands for multi spark discharge..... i have a mallory hyfire CDI in my car. works great. i went with mallory due to me having a mallory dizzy and coil i think the MSD's are built nicer.... but the hyfire 6al has a rotary switch for rev limiting, vs the lame MSD pills you have to buy |

The Mallory is a more modern version (digital instead of analog) of the MSD CDI box.
I've heard of more MSD boxes fail, but they are more popular and widely used...I have both |

to elaborate on mike's words...
i believe the MSD are more widely supported in ignition applications, but both work great. and he is right, digital vs analog, and the mallory has a much nicer rev limit controller... |

I like mine it gives a strong spark keeping the plugs from fouling when they are cold. and it starts better.
