Not an excuse the damn car died. And since we run a Magneto it's not as simple as just adding another box. They have to be hard wired to the coil . And then when it quits you have to switch the plug to the mag. It won't switch itself. But I'm sure you are a pro and know all of this.
Can the points box be put on A/B switch inside the car instead of plug & Unplug it.. so it can be changed just by flipping a switch, like aircraft ignitions.
You could, but that is adding complexity and more weight. you would never save a run at 3.70s… what would be cool, is to wire the secondary points box so when the first started dropping it automatically reverts to the second. That would be worth the wiring weight!
@@HoweMotorsportsNPK mossfets don’t like voltage spikes high or low, maybe a capacitor would help?? I know you aren’t running an alternator, but maybe something for insurance? Idk. 🤷♂️
We had the same problems with a crank triggers on our sprint cars this year! Every team that had the MSD ones had them fail! I mean every team! So we switched to the Magtech one, but when we took the MSD apart it was dirty as hell. Some guys siliconed them so nothing from the atmosphere can get it! I feel for ya brotha, e were ready to hurt someone! We buy MSD stuff cuz it’s supposed to be the superior product, but Magtech took it n made it better! Keep digging guys!
Part failure is part of racing but I hate to see any driver lose do to this. I hope you have better luck with parts. It’s one thing to lose by getting flat out run or loss of tire due to tuning or car set up but losing due to parts failure just sucks.
@@HoweMotorsportsNPK I know a couple screw PM's using Pro 600's for over a year & a half & no issues. Hope your streak of bad luck ends, been there done that, it's frustrating to say the least. Stick with it.
I know you don't know who I am. I watch your videos. I heard about your wife rare disease. There is some really good Dr's on TH-cam. Dr kenbury, Dr Chaffey Shaw Baker. Doing the carnivore diet.

For over 30 years, MSD has stood for May Suddenly Die. Nothing has changed! No one should be surprised!
Stat Guy interview, very good job!!
Be blessed!! I have been in ur shoes!!!
I was about to say that, it's common place in several forms or racing to install a spare.
Right....excuse #32 MSD points box.

Just not an option.

Jim have you ever had any luck with MALLORY or do they even offer what you need?
Are the other racers using this same MSD box? And if so, are they having the same issue?
No I'm one of the few who runs mechanical injection and likely the only one running a magneto.

No sound
I have sound fine
Pro 600...points box in the dumpster
We had more issues with them and I tested the original beta units. It was great. The replacements .... not as much.
