Same experience with Crane that I had.   With MSD, I have had 3 of them and
only one of the 3 had a problem (knock wood).

Dear Listers, interesting to read that about the MSD boxes. 

I heard in the past MSD has a very high failure rate (up to 50%). 

So those troubles do confirm the reliability issues of MSD

So I never bought or installed one but went for the Crane boxes, which are
just great and run like a clock all the time.

Cheers!

Except possibly for the two Crane boxes I have on the shelf downstairs :-(
These didn't like anything above about 5500 rpm.  Someday I might put them
in a street car, but not in a race car. Don
