    Just once. I have a RTR dist (no box) and it runs like a swiss watch, no problems here.

    MSD's fail when they are wired wrong = Installer Error!
    Very few fail for reasons other than that. MSD has a really good return policy(they'll fix it free if its their fault and even sometimes if it was yours). Wire it right and you will be fine. If not, you have to remember, if you make a million of something, there will be a few that just dont work. The odds of getting one of them are pretty slim.

    MSD's fail because they overheat. If you keep them cool, IE not under the hood next to a header without any airflow, they last a really long time. I kept killing MSD boxes on my van, was just about to give up, and moved it 2 feet into the airflow. 150K miles later (over 10 years) still going strong.
    Improved mileage, quicker starting and more power is what I have felt.
    I run MSD boxes on everything, I really like the new digital 6's.

    Make sure it will clear your intake manifold when you drop it in the hole. If you have an aftermarket intake some of the ignitions won't clear due to the higher runners on the intake, then the ignition will hit before it is all the way down where it needs to be.

    easy fix. Spin the collar off in a lathe(or other rudimentary approach) and put a slip color on it.
