Read Chris's post too quickly. Encouraging to see he recommends them. Eddie

Well, I've got one here for my Pontiac...guess I'll try it and see how it goes. I'll give it a little hit with Lanox....that stuff worked great on my boat, salt air doesn't beat it....might as well try it, eh?

I have had a Pro Billet on my Ponti for 6 or so years.
No dramas other than using a brass dissy gear and having it chewed out within 6 months. Have had polymer one on there ever since with no dramas.

I have a MSD pro dissy for the 57 aswell....  so I hope there are no probs.

Might be just with the newer ones as I have had an MSD on my engine for 11 years & no drama's !

Guys!
There is no need to panic. The problem has been ongoing since 2002. That was the year MSD went global in search of cost cutting and got as far as Shanghai, There has been a bad batch of these dizzies getting on to our market on and off so you may have a good one that will last you forever but if you are unlucky to receive one of the bad ones there is nothing else to do but carefully place it in your rubbish bin without upsetting your neighbours and count your losses.
In the meantime like i said earlier keep checking under your dizzie cap for signs of corrosion.
Keep them V8's roaring (even if it's a Ford) :zip:

Cheers, Chris.
