Y’all keep track of your vin? I don’t even have the fender tag! Oh crap, I let the cat out of the bag. Yeah the car is worthless now because it doesn’t have numbers for anyone to drool over , with that and the terrible electronic ignition on it I’ll have to call the metal recycler

There’s a good possibility that old MSD box will work fine. And as previously mentioned it will definitely throw some serious lightening out. I had one years ago on an old Dodge pickup running an LA 318 and it went with the truck when I sold it.

I had 68 satellite I put a 383 and fitech fuel injection on, the fitech didn’t like the Mallory distributor so I put bought a new msd box, the engine was a completely stock 66 hipo with hp manifolds, and you could tell there was a difference in the exhaust note , which is a pretty good indicator
I was not smart enough to pull that engine out or anything else off before selling it .

When you get this box fired up do a test on a good ground spot and see the fire . The engine will likely start even before the first full revolution. Mine always have. Major difference.
I've always heard the older MSD boxes were way better than anything in the past.....what, 30 years!

Dude, I’m not kidding at all , the rep I talked to today even said unfortunately this one is probably better then our new ones
I sometimes memorize the VINs of the cars I have, not because they are valuable though. Numbers are sometimes easy for me.
I remember addresses, phone numbers, bank accounts, measurements of buildings that I framed years ago, all sorts of useless stuff!

Never memorized VIN numbers but still know the casting numbers of the most recent three 8 3/4 3rd members. Did a lot of them but don't remember the bearing numbers lolMany years ago, I had my Charger's VIN memorized. I don't know why, and I can't even remember my wife's cell #...but I know my VIN.
Yes the pickup is just a coil ac generator. No fears.

Uhh.. excuse me, Bob ? { gently taps on shoulder } ...pardon my interruption... you forgot to close with "just my opinion... of course"
Look what I found :
The Pioneers of Performance Ignition
Today, MSD Ignition can be found on a nitro-breathing 12,000 horsepower Top Fuel dragster, 200+ mph NASCAR or gravity-defying 6-ton Monster Jam truck; But tracing our roots sends us back to 1970 at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, a U.S. Military testing and firing range. Tasked with the challenge of igniting lean-burning and exotic fuels, the focus was to create an ignition system that could meet the demands of lean-burning fuels and optimize fuel efficiency. This focus led to the birth of CD or Capacitive Discharge ignition, which is an ignition that can produce and store higher spark output energy to help burn or ignite these lean-burning fuels. Through this, MSD, or Multiple Spark Discharge was pioneered. This technology allows an ignition system to fire or send spark to a spark plug multiple times during one combustion event, producing a hotter, cleaner and faster spark performance. Soon MSD would grow and innovate breakthrough products tailored for high performance street and drag racing applications, and the rest is history. Fast forward over a half century and MSD has maintained its position as a leader & relentless innovator in performance ignition ranging from classic to late-model, street, strip, dirt, marine and nearly every racetrack around the globe.

So found in more places then points ignition….which I still haven’t heard a valid or even a smart *** reason why if points are so much better then why has everyone gone away from it ……

Any way, it’s a dud , but this was very entertaining and slightly informative
If anyone wants a cool wall hanger PM me

If U do actually connect up that old, legacy MSD box..
Be sure to recheck ur timing...
Those old MSD boxes typically had alot of latency..
Just my $0.02...

I have some wall art in my shop out back....
This last picture ....
On the wall is the original door and fender of the wife's Challenger. The fender was damaged when another driver crossed into my lane. The door was another collision where I crossed into the other lane.
Ooops!
