hope it works. I wouldn't buy used electronics unless I knew the guy.(just my opinion)

A buddy of mine had one he bought new for his dragster that would not work right...it ran fine sitting there but as soon as you hit 6200 it acted like it was on the chip..but wasn't. Sent it back to MSD..they said nothing wrong with it. Tried again...same thing.Sent it back again...MSD said nothing wrong with it Got another new one hooked it up exactly the same NO MORE PROBLEMS.
NOW...we put the "nothing wrong with it" box in my car...GUESS WHAT? 6200 rpm it went on the chip(even with no chip in it) . SO obviously that box had issues that MSD couldn't even figure out...so that scares me away from any used ignition box. Most will tell you if the car runs the box is good...well I now know different.

anyway sorry for rambling on.....I was just venting a little. Good luck with the box
