Been looking at a mallory ign. box to replace the MSD 6al that went out (2nd box that has went out on me...with the other a digital6+). I saw a special "dead or alive" deal were they give a rebate/cash back if you send in your MSD box. I can get 50$ for my 6al and would get something comperable in the mallory line.

I looked and the mallory 6al is like 180 or so...making it 130$ or so when its all said and done. So its not bad really...

Any first hand users out there? Any issues with massive failure...not that its THAT big of a deal, since I have already had 2 MSD's go bad.

In all fairness the 6al is several years old (at least 4-5).

I am on the fence of getting another MSD or something else.

I've got a buddy using the Mallory 685 box and he has had good luck with it on his 550+hp combo.

I'll be purchasing that box as well for my car.

I have one, bought it for my twin turbo. If cured my spark blowout problem at 10lbs of boost. I like that it has more spark power than most others and is cheaper. Mine is working great a year later on a daily driver....I also bought there coil and with the combo, I was impressed.....I was trouble shooting my car trying to find a dead plug, and i pulled the #1 plug wire off the dist. and when I fired the car Up i couldent believe that the spark was jumping to the upper intake....! what a good 4-5 inches!
