Hello again.

Would someone be able to tell me which Ignition System would be best for Chevy 350 (mild) in a HQ Coupe. I have a 5 speed Supra box and 3.55 LSD. The car will be for street use mainly.

I have come across some MSD on ebay. The link is:

http://cars.search.ebay....7QQfromZR40QQsacatZ9800

Thanks in advance.

Hi There Jay,

Be very carefull buying those items on ebay. Most of them are not MSD.

A couple of those listings were the real thing, but most of it if China Rip-Off gear made to look like MSD.

I can help you out if you want, i import a lot of MSD

Yup that's right Sandman. Most of it is crap. Everyone stay away from atracing (aka - Sydney Speed Supplies)

By the way, are you the same Sandman that i sent a MSD 6AL to last year ??

Now why would someone rubbish a guy on ebay who runs a ligit business, pays his taxes, and ebay fees, and is just trying to make a living filling a void in aftermarket spare parts - which I might add is something Sydney at least never had much a choice be

Its obvoius MSD are feeling the PROCOMP pinch as you are my freind.
The scary part is that PROCOMP outsold MSD last year :)
With that may ignitions and items being sold sure they would be BUST with warranty claims?
I guess AT Racing would be bust too?

I have never had a problem with Sydney speed supplies.

But , point taken, i will be more careful when buying new aftermarket parts from now on.
I didn't think is was so widespread.

Old holdens brought on the spot, quick decision, cash paid.
