[DeTomaso] MSD 6AL failure modes

I had an intermittent misfire in my Pantera that I traced to a bad pickup in
the MSD distributor.  I replaced it with a new one for $25 and it runs like
a top now.  The old one was cracked and came out in two pieces!

I am pretty sure that when the 6al boxes fail, they just quit.

Hi all

 

How do MSD 6AL units fail? Complete, catastrophic failure or can they be
flaky and every now and then act a little weird and then cure themselves? 

 

Just curious. Thanks
