Im just bored and since this place has been like a ghost town for awhile i thought id bug ya for some opinions. The other day i was at Advanced Auto with a buddy getting some things and why i was there i grabbed one of them MSD Cap & Rotor kits that all these parts stores sell. My buddy was giving me a hard time cause i paid $36.99 for it bragging that he bought one of them complete HEI dizzys off the net for $39.99 and it works just fine. Now although ive seen them a million times ive never got one cause im a firm believer in "Ya get what ya pay for" and i wasn't gonna chance a cheapo dizzy. I know a lot of it is by selling a volume of them but still how can they sell them that cheap and be of any quality whatsoever? Just wondered if anyone has ever used one and if so any luck with it?...quality?...reliability?

My experience with the cheap ebay distributors is the ignition modules are junk, but I swap in used GM modules from the junkyard and have no issues after that.

I've bought 3....... And replaced 3 modules. In 2016 I bought the $45 dizzy for my suburban because the cap and rotor at any local parts store was $80 . Not a single problem in 6 years.

You gotta know which seller to buy from.... but they have gotten a lot better over the years.... modules used to suck bad.... I’ve switched to a plug and play msd setup.... yes it’s a lot more money but good lord there’s a huge difference

Put in a new module and they are fine.

Ok well thanks for the advice and heads up. Maybe he has a right to brag then...until his module dies lol. I'll tell him to keep an extra one in the glovebox lol.
