I'm running a MSD 6AL on my car witha crane box and a PS-40 coil. It
works really well. I haven't had any problems with it and although the
car hasn't really been driven on the street since the installation I do
notice all of the things you mentioned. The larger gap will make a
difference and allow the MSD box to do its thing more affectively. try a
gap of about .045" and see how it works.
