This is kinda a side note but my brother works in retail at summit racing and he said that a lot of people bring back msd ignitions saying they're bad. They really did go bad but the reason for them failing is because of improper placement. He took a class that summit and msd provided and the instructors said that MSD ignitions belong in a cool place that is away from heat (That means not in the engine bay!). Even though the wires aren't long enough, you might wanna think about extending them and putting ur msd in the interior of ur car. It will make ur Ignition last a lot longer.

I've heard alot of die hard MSD guys switching to the Crane Hi-6.... For some reason the MSD's keep going bad... Most of the guys I know mount them under the dash, not in the engine bay, so I don't know what the problem is....

Yeah you want to keep it out of the heat. A lot of people also put them in place of the battery. You can do that and put some sort of heat shield around it. Sorry to hear about the problem.
