12 or 13 years and 80,000 miles. After I got all my grounds really 
grounded, and my tach signal picked up at the right spot, I've had 
absolutely no trouble. The MSD is really a very good unit. Most of the 
objections to it come from guys who think it is sacrilegious to mess 
with what IH put into the vehicle.

One of the very nice things about it is how easy it is to bypass it, 
just in case you think it is causing you a problem. The best thing 
about it, for my Terra is the adjustable timing control. We shop at 200 
ft. elevation, live at 2200 ft. elevation, and cross 9000 ft. mountain 
passes fairly regularly, plus my Terra was born with a ping, so 
changing the timing as needed works very well indeed.

My Pro-jection hasn't been that steadfast and uncomplicated, but I 
still wouldn't put the TQ carb back on, under any circumstances that I 
can imagine.
