- Why all the fuss about the Petronix unit? I have installed many MSD units on everything from Chevy 350's to Spit four bangers, same unit each time. MSD 6AL, the unit has modules for RPM limitation an

- Craig, The best thing for performance is to do the MSD thing BUT use the pertronix as the trigger. The MSD creates a very hot spark and does it multiple times for each cylinder as it gets to the firi
