Just wondering if anyone here has used one-looks like a great set-up (no more messing with Springs and weights, changing vacuum cannisters, etc.). The only negative I can think of is what happens when the module goes out-carry a spare?

I dunno but that sure looks like a nice ticket to me...

I recently posted about changing carbs and problems with no ported vac (Holley HP950) so that might just be what I need and found it on fleabay for right at $290 shipped...

I like it...

I use an Accel dual sync distributor, the adjusments are all done through my ECU. Under the distributor cap looks just as scary to me though, I'm an old school guy, always expecting points!

MSD has always been known for quality products. I wouldn't worry.

Consider that there are a gazillion factory module equipped vehicles on the highways today and very very few failures even with some that have 1/4 million miles on them.

I am in the middle of setting one up on a 72 Swinger. Very nice unit but you'll run into clearance issues on the wiper motor in A-Bodies. 2 speed motors just fit but the three speed requires some massaging with a die grinder. Works unbelievably well on a 85 Ramcharger.

I used 2 last summer biggest POS that MSD put out so far.
the circuit boards short out over time due to the corrosion falling from the rotor and cap.
the other issue is that the overall height (4 inches taller than a unilite dist)
means you cant run your wires under the headers even if the wire MFG said you can.
read these post in the MSD forum about the problems I had

there isnt a module its a circuit board with 3 adjustment pots
my advice is stay far away from this distributor.
not worth the money or the hours of waiting for MSD to help you out.

I looked at your forum links

After months of problems and forums,
It appears that when you finally contacted MSD directly,
they took care of your problem as quickly as humanly possible.

Sorry to hear about the trouble you had with it. I have one and I love it, no problems so far. Sounds like MSD stepped up to the plate and took care of the problem. Fits behind my tunnel ram fine. I spent alot of money on it, hope it holds up. I do wish the dials were a little easier to get to though. Sitting behind the T-ram makes them hard to get to, but that is not MSD's fault.

8 weeks, even over the holidays, is "pretty poor" customer service.
Thanks for the update.
If it were me I would be hounding them every 2 days until I got positive results.

I am a big MSD fan, but they would either get me one that works PRONTO, or give me a full refund so I could buy another brand.

I can say that the only one i have been involved with was in a customers stock car race car and it did not survive very long. I took it apart and converted it to a regular distributor.

I reinstalled my trusty old Unilite and no problems ( its over 20 years old lol)

I love my E-Curve. Works great, only problem was understanding the instructions. Have 350 chevy in Land Cruiser FJ40 and love the power. Here's a look at the curve I used and setting, you have 100 to choose from, but that is another story.
