"I have no idea what your motive is here, but anecdotal evidence shows that MSD ignitions do what they are supposed to do and are reliable."
The technology has no merit! Where are the data? The MSD is just another CDI system
with less merit than the Bosch CDI. And just because the lemmings follow the naive,
doesn't lend credibility to a product. There're are a lot of automotive gimmick products
that sell and sponsor race teams, e.g. Bardahl, Slick 50, etc.
"Additionally, the spark pulse width of 40 microseconds is half of the Bosch CDI
which results in less time to fully facilitate complete fuel charge ignition resulting in
potential mis-fires and greater emissions."
"potential mis-fires"
And again, that's why all OEM ignitions now use inductive discharge ignitions which provide
longer ignition pulse durations than a CDI. If you use a MSD because of the multiple sparks,
then you must lend some credibility to a potential of an inadequate spark duration necessitating
an additional spark. But too bad the additional sparks of the MSD have little to no effect to
resolve the potential problem.
