What is your experience with Msd? Brands you favor. The shop recommendation was MSD. I'm not there, so if another choice is better , let me know. Thanks.

Cant help wonder how its going to sound. Nothing sounds like a built 302. Certainly no Chevy. Cats or no cats and what mufflers??

All you gotta do to answer that is to go out to your garage and start your car. itll sound exactly like every other freakin 302 on the planet.

You need to find a different hobby. My car does not have any of the nice stuff like the Trick Flow heads, or a possible cam. His car will sound different than mine !!!! WTF

Then go online and listen to one of the 57 bagillion sound clips that are posted all over YouTube. NOTHING is more ordinary than the sound of a 5.O with a HCI upgrade.....

somebody get me a cup of coffee,..just talkin about the way a 5.0 sounds has made me sleepy.

A lot of folks around here making gobs of power on a stock ignition. MSD distributors are known for moisture: rust issues. Some of there electronics corrode up etc

As soon as I got my car I had to replace the pickup in the distributor and chang out the MSD coil for Ford stuff. I like the way it "looks" but i wouldn't spend the money on it. Just my $.02

The MSD box isn't going to fix the underlaying issue that you are having. The MSD box is just attached in-between the distributor and the coil adding a multi-spark addition. The issue is most likely the PIP or the TFI as this is what is reading the signal of the cam to deliver to the computer. I would rebuild your stock one with new parts first before anything else.

I'm not there to actually see the problem. I had to go somewhere for a while and left it to be repaired. I specifically asked if the stock distributor was the problem and the shop said " NO ". I had already ordered a stock rebuilt distributor.It just didn't arrive before I left.

I should be back To pick this up Friday or Saturday.
I'll see what the issue is then.
I'll probably put my distributor in myself.
Thanks by the way - for your input. I really do appreciate it.

Well, I finally got the call that my car was finished. I drove it back home. 2 hour drive. Ran great. Couldn't have asked for a better day to drive my fox coupe.

Just a side note, I spent the day looking over the new engine and transmission work that I had done.
I was surprised that I hadn't noticed before that The tag on the side of the transmission# are 1352-251-1xxxx.
If I'm correct - this is the aftermarket version of the Tremec T5Z.
It look like the torque specs = 330 ft lb.
This is the 1st time I even paid attention to it. Good news!!!!!!!

I've been unable to update this but a lot has been accomplished. I just finished my 5 lug conversion. I used 95 spindles, cobra brakes ,stainless brake lines, 5 lug rear axle, Tokico blue struts and shocks. I picked up a set of 18x9 American Muscle 2013 GT500 wheels in charcoal +30mm offset. I was worried about it but it looks great.
