I know, I must be a retard

but I don't know what MSD stands for and I want to know.

Plus Im curious to see how many jokes you guys can make up for those three letters.

 

They're based in El Paso...Multiple Spark Discharge...glad to oblige...

 

And... Just exactly how does it work? (I never took the time to find out, and if someone would be nice enuf for this lazy bum... :smile: )

 

capacitive discharge

 

Mama sucks dick...

 

did anyone ever think of just going to their site?

http://www.msdignition.com/

 

yes you did

 

Thanks guys, I knew I could count on Y'all. (No I'm not from the south. Im from Jersey. We say Y'all in Jersey )

 

ok, so what kit from there should I/We get if we wanted to redo our ignition system...

does this get rid of the distributor?

 

Good question. Exactly what parts do these MSD things replace and what are the performance results?

 

All the MSD boxes replace is the ignitor.

 

I did the leg work for you...

MSD through the distributor cap...why you don't want to do it according to Yaw and V8kilr

And then there is the ultimate thread that really needs to be archived or sticky'd....

V8kilr put every link there is on the direct-fire all here for us...read all of them and be enlightened...

Now that all the pertinent facts have been tied together here, this thread should be the sticky candidate...
