[DeTomaso] MSD ignition module - warranty work

[Mikael]

As seen from a business case pov, being dominant in the market volume wise
and the brand name everybody knows, and still go bankrupt, that requires a
pretty consistent determined focused every-day bad execution by management.
Just like the British car industry that managed to wipe itself out decades
ago...

They went Chapter 11 on Sept 6.
There was a bunch of court thrashing and some threats and then Nov 20 they
were bought by one of the shareholders.

"Bankrupt auto parts maker MSD Performance Inc. announced Tuesday that it
would sell itself as a going concern to Z Capital Partners LLC, having
accepted the private equity firm's $78 million offer."

I think they've been operating as normally as possible throughout, but I'd
phone them before I sent something to them anyway.

hours in a sub freezing test chamber, called it good as new and sent it
back. No charge except for shipping, if my memory is correct!

I sent them down to MSD in El Paso, Texas about six weeks ago. They promptly
tested the coil and proved it was working to spec.  They do not repair
coils, but they'll test them for a small fee.   The box was tested and found
faulty and repaired for about $35 and returned. Total turnaround time was
about 2-3 weeks.  No problems.  I would send your MSD ignition module to
them without concern.
