Default destroyed my MSD

The tach stopped working and the car started to skip. I called MSD and they said pull the distributor and send it in. They replaced everything except the main shaft. All warranty work but cost me a few weeks of driving.

Hmm, I just had to send mine in too. It had some really bad corrosion inside...looked like some kind of electrical corrosion. I'm still waiting to hear from them if they're sending me a new one or just fixing mine. I just sent it last Friday so I'm hoping to know something by next week.
