Default MSD or Mallory??
I need to get a Msd 6al or mallory 6al and dont know which one to get?? I see specials on the MSD unit but I seen the mallory dont need the pills. Any recommendation??? This is for a stroked out N/A motor.

If it's a N/A motor, why do you need one?

I got the Mallory Hyfire 6. Digital display and control, no pills or anything. You can also purchase the easy install kit that has the plug adapters for no splitting in the wiring.

Seems like the 685 box has those features for quite a bit less. MSD is still good stuff though.

I ran the MSD6AL and worked good for a while, then the harness went to **** and melted the input to my coil. Haven't reconnected since.

I ran the 685 box on my car and a few friends, never had a problem with them, great product with a lot of features for the price.
