Re: Patron Saint of Broke Down Chevy Trucks?
Modules don't fail all that often but always at the worst time. My truck has an MSD that ran flawless for 6 months. About 200 miles into a 350 mile road trip, at midnight on a back road, the truck started breaking up and trying to stall. Pulled into a parking lot and had a fried coil. No biggie. I throw a spare cap on and take off again. 30 minutes later same thing. Long story short this happened 5 times and I ended up at a boneyard the next day for a worn HEI. The root cause was the little carbon bushing under the coil couldn't take the umph of the MSD. I learned my lesson and now keep a spare bushing in the glove box along with the parts to convert it back to stock. Caps are easy to grab but not that stupid little low resistance bushing! Nothing ever breaks down when its convenient.
