MSD ignition question

Hello!

I have a 455 with a MSD #8529 ready to run distributor, Msd6al box and a blaster 2 coil.
Am I loosing any performance or driveability by removing the 6al box?

Thanks / Anders

On anything other than a higher level performance build I'd be surprised if you could tell a difference.

Nope!
You are thinking about the pro-billet dist, and with that you need to use a box. The #8529 has an integrated ignition module.
Thanks for chiming in anyway./Anders

Hence the term "ready to run". They make two styles.
