Default MSD

Guys,

Just curious, whats the purpose of MSD? I wanted to add it in my car but dont know what it really does. I have a stock 91 GT. Dang, I feel dumb!

Couple hundred bucks give or take. If your car is all stock, you really won't get any bennies from them. Use your money for other mods.

The MSD box delivers multiple sparks instead of a single spark during cumbustion making sure that all the gas in the chamber is burnt making more power.
