Default Hooked the MSD Digital 6+ box back up.

The damn thing has been sitting in my engine bay unhooked for probably close to 2 years now. I was bored tonight and looking for something to do so I hooked it back up. It is nice to have the soft-touch rev limiter back instead of the '165 ECM fuel cutoff (ouch!). Idle smoothness and throttle response seem better as well. The MSD 8875 harness makes it pretty easy once the power and ground lines are attached by the battery.

Placebo effect.... maybe.

Unfortunately it does not solve.

Leaking Power Steering Hose
Weak fuel pump
Possible collapsed lifter
Leaking driver a-pillar

Nah, that'll never blow up again because I have 2 spares in the garage just waiting to go in.
