Not yet, but it's on my "to-do" list. I'm likely gonna pick up a Mallory 685 since it has a 2-step built in, plus other features that I'm gonna want when the car is on the gas.

I went with the MSD dig 6+ wich has a timing retard, 2 step and rev limiter. I have heard about a couple 685s taking a crap, so i figured Id try the MSD box.

Congrats on the new best. Always feels great especially if you are the one responsible for doing most of the work.
