How did they figure out they were fake - the failure rate was much lower than the real thing from MSD?

maybe the reasons you guys were having failing MSD boxes were because you got chinese ones and didnt realize it. if they were this close then sites like rockauto and whatever could very well have gotten ''discount'' shipments and were none the wiser either

If they were, that would be a heartbreaker for MSD.
I think everyone has had multiple bad MSD units, rite of passage for fast cars - then you learn to buy something better!

I have had ignition parts from MSD, Mallory, and Accel. So far MSD has been the best, Mallory 2nd, and Accel a very, very far 3rd.
